Profile
for Joseph Borg
 We bring you Joseph Borg, known worldwide for
his art that resounds with the tempo of the contemporary mood.
In his works on paper, he juxtaposes
precision in etching and embossment with exuberant, uninhibited color in
monoprint panels. His paintings, unencumbered by the size of a plate or press,
burst with extravagant color and movement that challenges the intellect while
stimulating the emotions. And, in his wildly popular “mini” editions, he
focuses our attention into small square collages, that delight us with vigorous
glimpses of popular culture.
Born in New York City, Joseph Borg spent seven formative years on the Isle of
Malta. Working as an apprentice for a local fine artist, his “artistic seeds
were sown”. He continued to develop his artistic talents through apprenticeships
with a number of artists and master printers.
Joseph Borg has earned the title “Master
Printer” from his peers, specializing in intaglio print making. In addition to
traditional intaglio techniques, he uses the monoprint and monotype techniques,
which provide him with a means of endless experimentation. He pushes his media
beyond its traditional limits on his path of playful discovery. His love of
music, particularly jazz has had profound influence on his work. “Music takes on
a visual dimension in my work, revealing passion and energy,” he says, “I will
leave it to time and the onlooker to form a judgment”.
Joe Borg’s work has been widely exhibited in
the United States and abroad. In Japan, he has been received as a “Western
Artist with Eastern description.” His work was the only visual art in the
living quarters of Biosphere II, the experimental habitat in Oracle, Arizona.
