Jonathan Borofsky believes that his role as an artist is to ask questions about human life. He has created many works for public spaces, arguing that our view of art should not be limited to the experience of looking at a picture in a gallery. Borofsky hopes that outdoor sculpture reaches a wider audience than those who would normally view art.

More Information

Borofsky’s work is figurative, and based on the human form, so that we immediately recognise its shape and are able to identify with it.

Borofsky has said that the key word to describe his sculpture is ‘archetypal’, meaning the figure does not represent one particular human being but man in general. He prompts the viewer to consider the individual in relation to others and humanity as a whole. Significantly, the figures are arranged in such a way that, although facing in different directions, they are able to communicate with each other. Whether they are shouting, conversing or singing is up to the viewer to decide.
