Dead Man In The Room Collage Graffiti Painting Painting

Borna Libertines is an artist who creates mixed-media collages by reconstituting torn-up snatches of popular artifacts, some of which depict advertisements. His compositions feature text, pure blocks of color, commercial imagery, and graffiti placement, all remixed to convey humor, eroticism, and sociopolitical critique. Borna builds posters in which one has been placed over another or others, and the top poster or posters have been ripped, revealing to a greater or lesser degree the poster or posters underneath. This radical re-appropriation of an otherwise ordinary material enables him to capture the spirit of the times and the image of a society driven by communication, which expresses itself above all through its obsession with current affairs and the omnipresence of the media. His art brings the streetscape into the space.
