The first time John Booth has worked entirely in fluorescent ink — the flower given a palette that catches light differently from any conventional colour and gives the piece a presence in a room that changes with the light. Presented here in an oak float frame, ready to hang: the warm natural wood of the frame sitting against the vivid fluorescent pink in a combination that makes both more visible.
Booth graduated from Central Saint Martins with a BA in Fashion Print Design in 2009 and now teaches there as an Associate Lecturer. His fashion clients have included Zandra Rhodes, John Galliano, Ashish, FENDI and Paul Smith, and his work has appeared in the windows of Selfridges and the Conran Shop. The float frame presents the print with a slight gap between the artwork and the backing, letting the cut edge of the paper sit as part of the composition. Limited edition, hand-printed, float framed in oak, ready to hang. Signed. £293.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
John Booth
John Booth was born in Scotland in 1984 and raised in Cumbria before moving to London to study, graduating from Central Saint Martins with a BA in Fashion Print Design in 2009 — during which he interned at John Galliano and Zandra Rhodes. He now teaches as an Associate Lecturer at Central Saint Martins and also lectures at the University of Westminster. His fashion clients include Zandra Rhodes, John Galliano, Ashish, Christopher Shannon, FENDI, Paul Smith and Sunspel, and his work has appeared in the windows of Selfridges, the Conran Shop and Hospital Rooms. His practice spans illustration, ceramics, collage, embroidery and textile design. He draws inspiration from Karel Appel, Betty Woodman, retro children’s playgrounds and postmodern Italian designers, with colour strongly connected to his childhood in the Lake District.
