Photography by Zhaun Frias
The Barn that currently houses the Borsari Gallery was originally built in the early 1800's by Sea Captain Uriah Howe. The first use of the barn was to serve as a commercial Abattoir for Cape Cod and the surrounding areas. Both the Sea Captain's home and abattoir were then owned by the Crowell family for nearly a century; until 1960 when it was purchased by Cape Cod local artist David Grose and used to showcase his art. In 2008 Bob and Kathy Borsari purchased the property and began an elaborate & historically sensitive 3 year transformation. Every effort was made to meticulously restore the post and beam structure back to its original New England rustic beauty. This restoration included exposing the original pumpkin pine flooring, making use of the century-old “ice box”, and showcasing the historic 1800s track & pulley system that was used on the property when it was a working abattoir. It was at this time that the original beauty of the barn was revealed. While the original intent in the restoration process was to create an environment to continue the tradition of displaying fine art; it became obvious at the end of the restoration that Bob and Kathy had created much more than an art gallery. Hence, “Exceptional Image & Memorable Events - the Borsari Gallery - was born. A warm and elegant setting, filled with ambience; a perfect and certainly unique venue for intimate events for up to 100 people.

Artwork by Kenneth Evans
Ken was born by the shore in Stamford, CT. It was this proximity to New York City early on which afforded him the opportunity to study in the city's museums and to paint in its abundant art world, from abstract through his own version of realism, to now what is a semi-abstracted view of reality, leaving much open to the viewer. He is inspired by Turner in this respect, especially Turner's later years. He has a BA from the University of Connecticut in 3 years study, as well as a Doctorate, and has also studied painting privately for over a decade with several of the better-known painters of these genres including Kurill Doron, Joseph McGurl and John Stobart of the Royal Academy.
In these techniques he fuses classical coastal and abstraction, marrying influences from his historical and Turneresque studies with his early years in New York City and the abstract expressionist environment. At times this can clearly be seen in paintings in this exhibit such as "Home by the Sea," where there is a rather Turneresque sky, a classically painted middle ground, and a scrapped and dripped, abstract expressionist foreground.
Well recognized and award winning his work has sold nationally and internationally and is represented in a number of fine art galleries across the country. He has had one-person shows or been featured most years since 1996 from Newport, RI to Carmel, CA. He has taught painting at the Cape Museum of Art for many years and after several other museums also featured his work, he recently was given a one-person Cape Maritime Museum Exhibition where his painting "Building Belle" had been the entryway piece for this museum for many years.
