For the aquatints,“I utilized both sugarlift and spitbite aquatints in these prints, creating rich, dense, flat shapes as well as textured surfaces and brushmarks. Then we began to proof them, experimenting with different colored inks, both opaque and transparent. After the initial proof, I began to see the possibilities of working on other plates with the intention of overlaying one on top of the other, playing with combinations of drawing, color and touch.”– Marina Adams

The nine prints Virginia Overton created for her first collaboration with BORCH Editions are, much like her sculptural work, a direct response to her physical presence in a specific space – in this case, the city of Copenhagen and Niels Borch Jensen’s print studio.
“What I like about etching is that it is a mental and physical construction involving both a direct and an indirect process. And there is nothing like an etched line. It carries an authority, presence and weight all its own. Even haphazard incidental lines, random scratches, and the most delicate wavering marks remain with clarity.”

An interview with Niels BORCH Jensen by I DO ART Agency in collaboration with CHART Art Fair
An interview with Niels Borch Jensen.
BORCHs Butik presents an exclusive selection of original prints by the German artist Martin Kippenberger (1953–97). The exhibited artworks were all made during Kippenberger’s prodigiously productive stay at Niels Borch Jensen print shop in 1996, shortly before Kippenberger’s premature death the year after.
Julie Mehretu explains why printmaking has long been an important part her œuvre and why the collaboration with BORCH Editions on ‘Epigraph, Damascus’ was particularly special for her.
Zurier effortlessly translates his artistic practice as a painter from canvas to copper plate to make the very process of printmaking visible: The marks in the plate, executed by brush or needle, become evident; the force with which the paper is pressed into the indentations is almost palpable. The three-dimensionality of ink sitting on paper, the rich texture of the surfaces, the physical material at hand become the topic of a meditation on color and surface.
The title of Huma Bhabha’s series of etchings The Unsubs is inspired by the TV-show Criminal Minds. Here, the artist depicts unknown subjects or entities from an imaginary world, consciously avoiding characterization.
BORCH Gallery & Editions present recent editions by Iñaki Bonillas, Julie Mehretu, Tal R, Matt Saunders, SUPERFLEX, and Danh Vō at Art Basel 2016.
