‘Cavity Sam’ 2025
Linus Borgo’s solo exhibition, ‘Into the Blue Again’, is on view through Saturday, April 25.
‘Into the Blue Again’ examines the many ways embodiment and memory are entwined, and touches on the moments of the everyday where they crystallize. Borgo accumulates these physical recollections in ‘Cavity Sam’ (2025), a surreal, larger-than-life self-portrait in which he takes metaphorical stock of his own being.
The work takes its name from the board game “Operation,” and Borgo’s frank, and sometimes medical, autobiography is related through familiar aphorisms. Sensation is located as objects within the artist’s anatomy: a funny bone, a wisdom tooth, a phantom limb. Clad in cherry-print boxers, Borgo points out where in his body feelings are stored, and how the emotional and physical realms are enmeshed.

I’m excited to share that I’m included in “5 Artists on Our Radar in April 2026” by Maxwell Rabb (@pleaseemailmax ) for @Artsy .
@yossimilo :
Rabb discusses the experiences that inspire Borgo’s work: “Linus Borgo’s paintings are informed by a near-death experience. At 18, Borgo suffered a devastating electrical shock from a generator that discharged 11,000 volts. Though he survived the incident, it necessitated the amputation of his left hand. This event, coupled with his lived experience as a transgender man, fundamentally informs a practice that deals with the pleasures and discomforts of embodied experience. Some of these works are on view in his solo show at New York’s Yossi Milo Gallery, ‘Into the Blue Again,’ through April 25th.” @yossimilo

New Editions from Linus Borgo
@yossimilo Yossi Milo is pleased to announce new limited-edition prints of two recent paintings by Linus Borgo. Each is an archival pigment print, hand-signed and numbered by the artist in an edition of fifteen.
“The Impossibility of Unlearning” is based on Borgo’s painting created for the tenth-anniversary collector’s edition of author Hanya Yanagihara’s best-selling 2015 novel, A Little Life.
“Sunny Side Up” is a highlight from Borgo’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, ‘Into the Blue Again,’ on view through April 25, 2026. The work is a still life and portrait at once, with atmospheric tones that cast a Post-Impressionist haze not unlike paintings by Pierre Bonnard, Paul Cézanne, or the later Giorgio Morandi.
Head to our website for more on both works and to see all the paintings on view in ‘Into the Blue Again’.
OPENING TOMORROW | Linus Borgo: Into the Blue Again
‘Into the Blue Again,’ @linusborgo ‘s second solo exhibition with Yossi Milo @yossimilo , opens tomorrow, Thursday, March 26, with an artist’s reception from 6-8 PM.
The exhibition includes “Andrea in Blue,” which depicts a dancer tying her pointe shoe while sitting on a set of industrial stairs, capturing the quiet preparatory ritual before rehearsal. The act of tying the shoe can be a marker of time. It is a repeated gesture that precedes movement, evoking the repetitive nature of the ballet class itself, where steps are memorized and repeated over and over again.
‘Into the Blue Again’ meditates on cyclical themes of embodiment, preparation, and aftermath. The exhibition’s title is borrowed from a lyric in the Talking Heads’ 1981 hit song “Once in a Lifetime,” where singer David Byrne grapples with a sudden disbelief at the facts of his life. The song is structured around a looping, regular groove that pushes on to infinity: “Letting the days go by / Water flowing underground / Into the blue again.” This is Borgo’s blue: a life both momentary and ad infinitum.
We’ll see you tomorrow night!

UPCOMING EXHIBITION | Linus Borgo: Into the Blue Again @yossimilo
We’re pleased to announce ‘Into the Blue Again,’ @linusborgo ‘s second solo exhibition with the gallery. The show will be celebrated with an artist’s reception from 6-8 PM on Thursday, March 26, 2026.
Borgo’s paintings reckon with lived time, using lavish rendering to convey experiences of embodiment through stillness and change. ‘Into the Blue Again’ finds the artist drawing his audience close, asking them to share in emotional sensation as he navigates blurred narrative boundaries between home, hospital, and studio. Borgo elides action in favor of its aftermath, living in the wake of urgency as calm sets in. Across the works on view, he performs a transformation: the quotidian becomes phenomenological in scenes of quiet companionship and fraught recovery.
