Incredibly original work from Amersham based artist BOO RITSON:

BOO RITSON paints people, but not on canvas or on board – she literally coats people with paint. Presented as photographs, RITSON’s portraits are a double masquerade: her subjects coated in sticky disguise, and the documentary image a surrogate representation of the tangible painterly, sculptural, and performative qualities of work. By using photography RITSON capitalises on the associations of snapshot memory and filmic narrative, with each of her characters playing out readily recognisable stereotypes.

Her new website is coming soon so check out the Poppy Sebire website for more images of her work.
