Don’t miss the last two days to see Scot Borofsky’s work as well as our group show Bullshit! Scot Borofsky is a classically trained artist who became the most visible street artist in the East Village in the 1980’s. Borofsky references graphic symbols and lines used in the earliest pre-Columbian art in combination with the use of ancient artistic motifs and figurative designs. Borofsky’s collage, Sugar Baby, includes the imagery of the skull, as Borofsky puts it, through... a prism of drawing styles in a multitude of media- figurative studies.
