Biography
Joshua (Shuky) Borkovsky was born in 1952. From 1973 to 1977, he studied at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. He began teaching at the Art Teachers College in Ramat Hasharon in 1978. In 1979, he joined the faculty of Bezalel. He has also taught workshops at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In 1980-81, he attended Hunter College in New York for his MFA degree.[http://nogagallery.com/Artists/joshua-borkovsky/Press.html Biography at the Noga Gallery] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140826115809/http://nogagallery.com/Artists/joshua-borkovsky/Press.html |date=26 August 2014 }}
Borkovsky's work features phantasmagoric imagery such as the silhouettes of sailing ships, and cartographic and geometric images.[http://wsimag.com/art/3750-joshua-borkovsky-from-the-brown-collection Joshua Borkovsky: From the Brown Collection]
Borkovsky's exhibition at the Israel Museum in 2013, titled "Veronese Green," featured 58 works from 10 cycles of paintings created from 1987 to 2012. Borkovsky creates open-ended cycles with one painting differing slightly from the next. The cyclical nature of these works creates a sense of time standing still. Many of the paintings evoke the image of photographs being developed in a darkroom.[http://forward.com/articles/170632/israel-museum-exhibit-focuses-on-the-act-of-creati/?p=all#ixzz3CiPIs1VZ Israel Museum exhibit focuses on the action of creation, The Forward]
