"Shadows and negative space are the organizing elements in the Boren paintings. He frequently washes away the setting in a dazzling sweep of white that throws the subject into sharp relief. His strong, translucent shadows are uncanny in their ability to both absorb and reflect light." (Michael Duty & Suzanne Deats WESTERN TRADITIONS)
