David Booth, aka Ghostpatrol, will discuss his practice generally, particularly around his involvement in Hepburn Energy and his characters Gale and Gusto which are depicted on the turbines there.
he then has “…a fun little drawing exercise game to loosen us up. We’re drawing to laugh and connect, we’re drawing to make something new.”
“My little drawing game is addictive and you’ll be taking home the meme to play with your friends and family. Trust me you’ll love it.”
“Be brave and let’s let the drawings come to life.”
DAVID BOOTH PRESENTATION & WORKSHOP
David Booth, who also works under the pseudonym Ghostpatrol, is a Hobart-born, Naarm-based artist whose practice shifts between studio works, site specific installations, commissioned murals and commercial design. His work has been exhibited at and acquired by several leading institutions including the National Gallery of Australia, Art Gallery of South Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne Museum and Parliament House Art Collection, Canberra.
David sees his role often shift between that of a contemporary artist, commercial designer, mural painter and artistic collaborator. The softer and innocent nature of his work ostensibly belies his conceptual concerns with environmental collapse, quantum physics, cosmology and futurism.
Notes:
This presentation and workshop will take place on the afternoon of Friday 12th March in Guildford, following the Hepburn Energy Tour.
