Portrait of Ga

Fred Borghesi is an Italian artist based in Hackney Wick, London, whose practice spans a variety of mediums and techniques. His bold and vibrant works carry an intimate, instinctive urgency that captures the essence of pure expression. Influenced by historical avant-garde movements, particularly expressionism and abstract expressionism, Borghesi’s art also draws parallels to Asian calligraphy aesthetics and primitivism. He finds inspiration in the authenticity of children’s art, valuing instinctive responses as the truest form of creativity. Borghesi believes that intuitive art reveals truths about one’s personality, where even a few brushstrokes can tell a story. His approach embraces imperfection, recognizing the importance of letting go while remaining attuned to those moments when magic emerges in the creative process.
