Boo Ritson was born in 1969. She studied Fine Art at the University of Buckinghamshire, before going on to complete her M.A in Fine Art at the Royal College of Art in 2005.
She is best known for the works which depict characters and still lives drawn from her own imagined narratives which until recently recalled iconic images from American pop culture. For each piece she literally paints her subject in a thick emulsion and then photographs the sitter or object whilst the paint is wet. The resulting tableau sit somewhere between painting, sculpture, performance and photography.
Ritson has exhibited extensively in the UK and in 2008 held her first solo exhibition at Bravin Lee in New York. Her work is included in several international collections including the Saatchi Collection, Zabludowicz Collection, The Speyer Family Collection, New York, Chadha Art Collection, Netherlands- as well as prominent collections in France, Spain, Portugal, Russia, Italy and Germany.
