More information

Boo Ritson tycker om att måla människor, hon använder sig inte av duk eller pannå utan täcker helt enkelt människor med färg. Ritsons porträtt är dubbla, först tilldelar hon sina modeller en rollfigur och klär på dem passande rekvisita, sedan målar hon dem med tjock kladdig färg. Till sist dokumenterar hon dem med hjälp av kameran. Modellerna blir representanter för väl igenkännbara stereotyper ur det moderna människosläktet.
Boo Ritson är bland annat representerad hos Stella Foundation, Moskva,
Magasin 3 Stockholm Konsthall samt Saatchi Collection, London och Titze Collection i Paris.
