BORIS BORN - Artist
I am an abstract painter in the broadest sense. I typically work in series, each exploring a particular theme or subject. My painting process often incorporates Surrealist and automatist techniques, including frottage, collage, decalcomania, grattage, and stamping. I work with a diverse range of materials - varnish, ash, sand, fabric, pigment, pastel, Chinese ink, emulsion, and acrylic - applied to a variety of surfaces, including wood, felt, roofing slate, rice paper, and traditional canvas. Some of my works are semi-abstract, retaining a figurative reference through an organic, dystopian, or planetary visual language. They occupy a space between abstraction and recognisable forms, while remaining pre-representational: imagery emerges through the interaction of material, process, and chance rather than from a predetermined image. My pictures can never truly be finished. They are the remnants of a wild, organic process in which tools are lost and intentions become uncertain. They are relics in every sense of the word.
