Paul Booth
JulianI believe that each person’s brain has a fixed amount of space allotted for problems. Those with much on their mind squeeze these concerns in so as to shrink them in size, while those with relatively few struggles allow what little there is to occupy the entire area, aggrandizing their troubles. My compositions, whether populated by many bodies or a single figure, occupy space in a similar way. They are compressed into the picture plane while also threatening—but never quite managing—to burst free from it. PAUL BOOTH (b. 1978) lives and works in New York City. His work was recently featured at NADA Miami by SITUATIONS. Booth studied painting and printmaking at Arizona State University.
