Adolf Born has left behind an impressive, timeless body of work that is full of affectionate humour and impeccable craftsmanship. A somewhat nostalgic and fabulously thoughtful world offers reflection and relaxation as a counterpoint to art that engages in complex, fierce struggles. In his prints, animals become people and people often become animals. Through ingenious abbreviations and puns, humour becomes accessible to children and adults alike. Adolf Born sweeps viewers away with an extraordinary wave of imagination, bringing encounters that have never taken place in history, as well as situations he portrays in familiar settings. Framed under anti-reflective glass with UV filter.
