Gilbert V. Boro - Sculptor

BoroWelcome Gil Boro, Sculptor. Gil's work takes my breath away and it is a pleasure to be working with him. As one of those art lovers who needs to touch something before being able to really experience it, I smiled when reading his statement (writing statements is not a practice Gil embraces) that reads in part "I seldom read 'artist's statements.' They do not seem to bear much resemblance or relevance to the artist's actual work, which for me evokes a sensory rather than an intellectual response."

Gilbert Boro is a sculptor, architect, educator and international design consultant. He was born in New York City and has been involved in the arts since his boyhood. He has had a distinguished career, spanning more than forty years. He has received two traveling fellowships and had numerous visiting teaching positions, and has invested much of his time in nonprofit arts groups.

Mr. Boro's work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and purchased by individuals, corporations and foundations in Chicago, IL; Carmel, CA; Brookline, MA; Lebanon, NH; Brockton, MA; Rutland, VT; Denver, CO; Newton, MA, Peakview, CO; Naples, FL; Boston, MA; San Diego, CA; Old Lyme, CT; and Monaco.

At present we only have a splash page up for Mr. Boro's website but construction is underway. You can access Gil's webpage from here or the righthand sidebar and also see samples of his work and read his bio/statement at lisamikulski.com

  • David Black regarding an INK feature arts article:
    "I was just handed the most incredible magazine article that I think has ever been written about me. It is just fantastic and people are presenting me with copies of the magazine. Really beautifully written, really beautifully written and no one has ever put all the pieces together as nicely as you have. Thank you so much."
  • Re: Article on Slater Museum
    "Ok, Don't stand in a doorway when you read this as you may become hopelessly lodged... Hang on to your head, an ego boost attached... I love it Lisa. Spot on nicely done, access-able, significant and of a standard. I'm stoked, can't thank you enough, very happy and impressed." Jeff Lilly - INK Publishing

  • The Art Guide
    "I am glad you are a perfectionist- You have given us a world-class site that will be an asset to The Guide as we move forward and expand." Matt Holmes, The Art Guide
  • Artist Julia Rogoff
    "I found Lisa Mikulski to be just the right resource at the right time: focused, professional, with a great eye for color and design, and with very fast turnaround time for getting images up on the web -- an artist's best friend and there when you need her! She's got a really good command of the two worlds we as artists now inhabit: the technical issues of cyberspace in today's market, combined with bottom line issues of artistic judgement. I highly recommend her as a great resource for web design, artistic and gallery management."
