Artist Statement:
With pen and ink Neil Borrell
produces finely detailed
country and nautical scenes
that are rich in texture and
character. His drawings have
been published in The New
Yorker, and the Martha’s
Vineyard Gazette. His limited
edition prints have been
featured at the Wellfleet
Collection and the
Swansborough Gallery in
Wellfleet, the Cape Cod town
that has inspired much of his
work, as well as at the MAC 21
Annual International Art Fair
in Malaga each year since its
inception in 1999.
In New York, Borrell’s
drawings were the subject of a
one-man show, “Fishing Ports
in Pen and Ink”, at the South
Street Seaport Museum, and
have also been featured in
exhibits at Lincoln Center,
The Hudson Guild, Bank Street
College and the Educational
Alliance.
Neil’s pursuit of subjects has
taken him to France, Mallorca,
Portugal, England and Wales,
Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket
and Cape Cod.
An exception to the fishing
ports and rural villages that
characterize most of Borrell’s

Reviews for Neil Borrell:
|
|
|
New York Arts Journal:
“…Neil Borrell’s small, sensitive pen and ink studies deftly capture isolated images such as “Derelict Catboat” and “Fishing Shacks.” Details abound in these precise drawings; ropes, nails, and shadows give the subjects an added dimension of realism. A more interpretive piece, “Paris 1976,” is an assortment of popular images and logos that combine to produce a strictly personal, yet hardly esoteric view of the city and its attributes. Borrell wields his pen with fluency and precision; his work is a direct reflection of his talent.”
