About Borna Shop

The Artist

Borna Libertines is a New York City-based collage and graffiti artist and electronic techno music producer. He lives and works in the East Village — one of the last true underground neighborhoods in Manhattan — where the walls still speak louder than the algorithms.
His practice is rooted in affichage lacéré, the art of torn posters. He builds layered compositions from ripped fragments of commercial advertisements, found ephemera, and street detritus — reconstituting them into works that are at once humorous, erotic, and sharply political. The result is art that does what the street does: interrupts, confronts, and refuses to be ignored.
Borna’s work has been exhibited at Hashtag Gallery in Mexico City and Hotel Lone in Rovinj, Croatia. His electronic music catalog — released under the Borna Libertines name — includes the LP Memory Leak and EPs Tengo Lo Que Tengo, A Darkness, Inside My Mind, and Into The Shadows.

The Work: Collage, Graffiti, and the Street

Borna Libertines builds collages the way cities build themselves: layer over layer, each stratum partially revealing and partially obscuring what came before. He tears apart commercial posters — the visual noise of consumer capitalism — and reassembles the fragments into something that didn’t exist before. Text, color, faces, barcodes, slogans: all stripped of their original context and charged with new meaning.
His compositions live in the tradition of artists like Jacques Villeglé and Mimmo Rotella, but with a distinctly New York energy — raw, irreverent, and alive to the contradictions of a city that commodifies everything, including its own underground. The work brings the streetscape into the gallery, and now, into apparel.
“Art is dangerous. Do not attempt at home.” — Borna Libertines

The Shop: Wear the Streets

Borna Shop is the direct expression of Borna Libertines’ art on the body. Every garment in the shop is printed with original artwork — not licensed graphics, not trend-chasing prints, but actual collage and graffiti art translated onto heavyweight garment-dyed cotton.
The apparel is made to last and made to mean something. Oversized boxy silhouettes with dropped shoulders, pre-washed for day-one softness. Six garment-dyed colorways — Vintage White, Washed Denim, Khaki, Washed Charcoal, Washed Maroon, Washed Black — that wear like a second skin and age better with every wash.
