Alexander Tovborg, DK

Alexander Tovborg’s distinctive and immersive artistic practice encompasses painting, prints, sculpture, installation, and performance.

His figurative imagery, ornamental shapes and rich colour combinations are explorations of fundamental human questions that have arisen through religious narratives, mythology and symbols. Through his work he considers how our own grand narratives were formed and how they might change and evolve.

Tovborg has collaborated with BORCH Editions for over eight years to create three large series of etchings to accompany each of the three books of The Divine Comedy; Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso. The most recent series will form part of the BORCH Editions’ presentation at Market 2025.

Alexander Tovborg was born in 1983 in Copenhagen, Denmark, where he lives and works today. He has been collaborating with BORCH Editions since 2007.
