Finding the right artwork
When it comes to selecting artwork, most people haven’t got a clue where to start. Of course, the painting you choose will largely depend on your budget and colour preference, but other than that many people simply don’t know where to begin.

Finding an artist you like is often a good place to start. Many fans of modern and traditional art like to support an artist from their home town. Those who live in the Midlands region will love Staffordshire based artist Jiri Borksy.

Jiri was born in Dobrany, Czech Republic in 1945. During his mid teens, he moved with his parents to Prague, where he lived and studied for eight years. In 1968, Jiri moved to England,where he settled in the Potteries. He soon began studying art at Staffordshire University and north Staffordshire Polytechnic, and had studios in the Burslem School of Art. Since his graduation in 1979, Jiri has been a full-time artist.

Over the years, artwork by Jiri Borsky has been widely exhibited. Over 1,650 of his works are featured in a variety of collections all over the world.

Jiri Borsky Artwork
...
... Jiri has a wide range of unique, original pieces. Many Staffordshire art studios take pride in exhibiting and selling his selection of paintings.
‘Harbour in rain’ is an acrylic painting which features many different shades of blue. The image is hand finished and comes with a beautiful frame. As the ‘harbour in rain’ piece is a relatively small painting, it can be hung in most households, without taking up too much wall space.
Jiri has based a large amount of his work on the area and people of the Potteries. ‘Potteries lovers’ also known as ‘canal walk’ is an extremely popular painting. The acrylic pieces come with a modern frame and triple mount. The image itself features a large painting of a couple walking along the canal in Potteries. A canal boat in the background signifies the bright, beautiful area of Staffordshire.

‘Man in shed’ is one of the most popular Jiri Borsky pieces. The oil painting features a large old man sitting inside a tiny garden shed. Like most of his artwork the ‘man in shed’ piece is unique and quirky, with a range of bright colours.

Aspiring photographers will love the ‘photographer – revisiting potteries’ painting. Like the ‘man in shed’ piece, a large image of a photographer is somewhat out of proportion with the rest of the painting. This seems to be a theme for many of Jiri’s paintings. The large, oil canvas image is popular with many locals as it represents their mystical town.

Many art shops in and around Staffordshire stock most of Jiri Borsky’s artwork. They also have football prints of local teams and artwork by many other artists.

Barewall is a Midlands based original art shop and gallery based in Stoke-on-Trent. They stock and exhibit and wide range of artwork by dozens of artists. Pop in for a browse today and brighten up your walls.
