He liked to spend his weekends with his father, bike riding beyond the city out to the serenity of the moors. Born in England, in 1940 he was familiar with the industrial landscape of northern England at an early age. He first emerged as a painter of stark abstract works, inspired by his early years in the industrial town of Sheffield (England). In the late 1970s, PETER BOOTH work evolved into neo-Expressionist imagery. Before his family immigrated to Australia in 1958, he attended the Sheffield College of Art. He entered the National Gallery School in Melbourne. Graduating in 1965, he went on to teach drawing at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School, until 1967. In the early 1970s, he start paint hard-edged abstractions of dark rectangles (primarily in black). His work is characterized by an intense emotional power of narratives and esoteric symbolism.
He began keeping a dream diary in 1973. Drawing has been central to his practice for his recorded images, with whatever scrap of paper. In many of his landscapes, he looks to the prehistoric terrain of the Australian outback. His imanigery influenced by earlier movements in art (such as work of Francisco Goya and Abstract Expressionism). By 1977, PETER BOOTH had begun working in figurative and landscape imagery, exploring both directions. In some works, hislandscapes are peopled by strange humanoid figures. In other works, his landscapes are filled with recurring forms. As you too can perceive, in much of his work he has conjured up a special world, between the observed and the imagined. During the 1980s, he began to illustrate flakes of snow drifting over his figures and landscapes alike.
