Peter Booth b. 1940

  • Artist (Painter),
  • Artist (Draughtsman)
Peter Booth first emerged as a painter of stark abstract works, inspired in part by his early years in the industrial town of Sheffield in northern England. In the late 1970s his work evolved into complex neo-Expressionist imagery, but the vision remains bleak.
