Boo Ritson

Boo Ritson is a British artist known for her striking photographic series in which she transforms human subjects into living paintings by coating them in thick layers of paint, turning people into hyperreal, cartoon-like figures. Her work explores themes of American cultural mythology, consumerism, and identity, drawing on the visual language of advertising, cinema, and popular culture. Ritson's practice blurs the boundaries between painting, performance, and photography, creating unsettling yet playful images that challenge notions of surface and artifice.
