Ambivalence is key to Booth’s genius. Evoking ideas without prescribing answers, he ushers the viewer to the edges of human existence - beholding a view that is sublime, as it is impenetrable.

This early charcoal and pastel drawing is recognisably Booth. Among Australia’s most thought provoking and esteemed artists, Booth is represented at the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne where he was the subject of a major retrospective from 2003 - 2004.
