Born in New Jersey, George Boorujy’s intense interest in the natural world has led him all over North America – from a marine biology program in Miami to the fishing industry of Alaska to the deserts of the American West. Based on observations of diverse ecosystems Boorujy produces distilled zoological studies and landscapes in the exacting medium of ink on paper. Against white backgrounds, settings without atmosphere, Boorujy’s animals are startlingly confrontational and surprisingly posed.

George Boorujy lives and works in Brooklyn.
