One of Booths most popular series of paintings is called 'Cerebral Bloom' - the paintings are very detailed and layered flowers in beautiful 'optimistic' colours. The colours have been skilfully layered to lead the viewers eye gently around the painting to discover different elements to love. 'Cerebral Bloom' was inspired by the artist mother who was a dressmaker and inspired his love of creativity.
Booths paintings often convey a layering and movement which connect to his sculptural work; some are produced with instinctive marks - making decisions in the moment which is how Booth creates his organic sculptures by ensuring he works with conditions, methodology that encourage him to trust those instincts. Visible instincts are personal items that bring magic and specificity to paintings and, with practice, appear automatically. They’re at times universal and technical, but can be poetic or even self-honed nothings, unique to the artist.
“The way to create art is to burn and destroy ordinary concepts and to substitute them with new truths that run down from the top of the head and out of the heart.”
