Artist Statement;
We all play different characters throughout our lives: the mother, the railroader, the actor, the waiter, the lover, the artist.
In the work of Josef Carlborg, he has created the artist — a figure deeply rooted in himself, perhaps even more him than he is. Like an actor entrusted with the role of a lifetime, he steps into this part and allows it to shape him.
Where is he?
Who is he?
When is it?
Where does he come from?
Where is he going?
The artist paints the painting; “he” is merely the tool. In his aspiration for absolute presence, one might catch a glimpse of an angel passing through — a charged moment that transcends thought, that goes beyond what the mind can grasp.
You are not your thoughts.
You are you, are you?
