Process, Materials and Care
J. Borges draws directly on wood, skilfully balancing solid and void spaces without the need for preliminary sketches or drafts. His artistic process begins with the title, which guides the creation of each drawing, giving life to the vivid narratives often found in Brazilian "cordel" literature. In woodcut, the matrix background is carved around the figure, allowing for the application of ink. The result is a vividly coloured or black image set against a pristine white backdrop. Borges’ designs do not adhere strictly to perspective or proportion, making them stand out for their unique blend of originality, irreverence, and the presence of whimsical, imaginary characters.Process: Woodcut
