Jo Booth
“Booth paints the beauty, the space, the sense of occasion, even the possibilities that she sees (in the landscape) before her. All the obvious elemental players are there, so superbly abbreviated, but still in all their inherent glory.”
Jo Booth’s landscapes possess a remarkable informality, a sense of freedom that liberates the viewer, momentarily. But above all, they are simple, honest representations of the natural world. Booth is clearly besotted with the strikingly beautiful landscapes near her home. She paints the beauty, the space, the sense of occasion, even the possibilities that she sees before her, without resorting to photo-realism to get that message across. The sea, the sky, the rocks, the sand- all the obvious elemental players are there, so superbly abbreviated, but still in all their inherent glory.”
