Boo Ritson trained as a sculptor but in recent years her practice has developed to include painting. In her most widely known series of work, Ritson coated the heads and shoulders of living people with household emulsion to transform them into new characters who are captured in large-scale photographic prints. Ritson’s images question whether it is the act of painting or subsequent documentation which is the most important stage. Ritson’s work is not simply photography or even painting as it incorporates elements of sculpture and performance alongside, but in a way that is ultimately hidden from the gallery visitor.
