Boris Born (* 1960) is a German and British abstract painter. He lives in London.
Life und Work[edit]
Boris Born started his artistic career in the early 1980s in Hanover. From 1978-1982 he worked as an assistant and practitioner at the studio of the German artist Leiv Warren Donnan. After completing an MA in Philosophy and German Literature at the Freie Universität Berlin in 1988, he decided to mainly focus on his art.
Born is an abstract painter in the broadest sense. He usually works in series that pursue a specific topic. In the painting process, he often uses surrealist or automatic techniques 1 such as frottage, collage, decalcomania, grattage or stamping techniques. Popular materials are varnish, ashes, sand, fabric, pigment, pastel, Chinese ink, emulsion, and acrylic on a wide variety of bases such as wood, felt, roof slate, rice paper or conventional canvases. The pictures are often ‘semi-abstract’, i.e., they have an organic, dystopian, or planetary ductus (figurative reference).
Born lives and works in London.
