David Booth [Ghostpatrol]'s 'Wood carve 1' hand carved sculpture

Wood carve 1, 2012

Working under the pseudonym 'Ghostpatrol', David Booth first made a name for himself on the walls of Melbourne’s laneways. Working with ephemeral techniques, by 2007 Booth had built an international reputation as a leading street artist. However Booth’s practice, grounded in a passion for drawing and sketching, has always been split between street-based works, including temporary sculptures and installations, and that of a contemporary studio-based practice. As a result Booth sees his role often floating between that of a contemporary artist, commercial designer, mural painter and artistic collaborator.

This work was first presented in the exhibition 'Horizon' at Hugo Michell Gallery, 6 September to 6 October 2012. 

Measuring 29 x 9 x 4 cm with synthetic polymer & lacquer on pine. The artwork has a hanging plate on the back of the work for wall hanging.
