Jonathan Borofsky

Jonathan Borofsky is an American artist known for his conceptual and figurative works, which often explore themes of identity, spirituality, and the human condition. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and studied at Carnegie Mellon University and Yale University.

Borofsky's work spans a range of media, including painting, sculpture, and installation. He is perhaps best known for his "Hammering Man" series, which features large-scale sculptures of a figure holding a hammer, symbolizing the working class and the human struggle for meaning and purpose.
