Public Service: New Paper Cutouts by Joe Boruchow

We just finished framing the newest papercut outs for Philadelphia artist Joe Boruchow.
Trinity Framing has had the pleasure of working with Joe for the last five years. He continues to amaze us with his artwork and skill with which he executes each image.

Public Service is the new exhibition of paper cutouts by Joe Boruchow. The self taught DC native, who has lived inPhiladelphia for the past 13 years, presents a healthy dose of social criticism with his new collection. All the cutouts were designed to be made into posters that have become a familiar sight on local telephone poles. The sometimes controversial images can be titillating (see Nude With Comics) or provocative (Canine Fecal Death Act) and are always striking in their stark black and white design. Seeing the scale and delicacy of the actual paper cutouts mounted on white satin at The Bean Cafe is a display of craftsmanship that keeps you looking while the satirical and narrative elements of Boruchow's work reveal themselves. Public Service is a preface to the release of his graphic novel, Stuffed Animals: A story in Paper Cutouts which was awarded the 2009 Xeric Grant for Graphic Fiction and is scheduled for release in February.
