“An Attempt at Obedience”

An exhibition of new works by

Bob Booth

“The completion of a new exhibition is always a time of demanding reflection.  Letting go of each development that seems to offer some ‘know-how’ security, is never comfortable;  but for me remains a sort of personalised requirement for progress.

“Any notion of arriving at some mastery that offers certainty to my next effort is not really a hope at all, as I note that progress depends on obedience rather than mastery.

“The inner necessity of the work, (that very small unassuming voice,) requires a corresponding inner silence of the painter.  It seems to be a process of developing sensitivity to what is required of me in order to follow.”

Bob Booth’s paintings transport us to a level beyond mere looking.  He is an original artist – not because his subject matter is different but because of the particular temperament his works reveal to us.  His intelligent use of colour and form, applied with a luscious impasto oil paint becomes the language to document his deep regard for his subjects. 

Bob Booth has exhibited widely in the UK, France and Western Australia, with a solo show at Windsor Castle, London in 2003 and sell-out shows in Perth and Margaret River in recent years.
