B. 1942 - Nowhere is the confluence and incongruity of style and attitude more apparent than in the art of Jonathan Borofsky. Although his work over the past 30 years has been marked by numerous stylistic shifts, it remains primarily conceptual: it is as much about the process of creation as it is about the individual objects he makes. Perusing the myriad images that span the past ten years of Borofsky's production we find certain recurring themes, the most persistent of which is "the fear of being chased." Commenting on Borofsky's use of free association and dreams as catalysts for his work, several critics have suggested a kinship between his art and that of the surrealists. Unlike the surrealists, however, who used dreams to probe the mysteries of the unconscious, Borofsky uses dreams to clarify the meaning of ordinary experiences.
