“Measured, dreamlike, solemn, or quick and animated, there is always something insistently personal in the way Power Boothe treads. He is a painter for whom rhythm is the essential organizing force. Just as the symmetry of the human gait can be altered by countless fortuitous events (the most determined walker is distracted by sounds, movements, encounters), so the basic rhythmic structure of Boothe’s paintings is modified by countless emotional intonations. But essentially, these paintings are the intimations of basic movements in the universe to which the artist is intuitively attuned.” – Dore Ashton
