About the Artwork:

Memento Amore examines the intersection of love, mortality, and grief through the imagery of a skull within a heart. Rooted in the tradition of memento mori, this piece acknowledges love as an entity that transcends even death. The juxtaposition of the skull, a symbol of finality, and the heart’s enduring vitality reflects the duality of grief: the pain of loss and the persistence of love.

(Artist Bio)

Morgan Booth is an established Pop Figurative artist based in Toronto, Canada. Her signature blue figure oil paintings use surreal color choices and figures to explore concepts of identity and discovery of self. Playing with the perceptual experience and physical response to color, Booth uses blue tones to evoke feelings of calmness and contemplation, while using the intensity of warm colors as an emotional contrast.

Selected exhibitions include WOW x WOW Gallery, J/M Gallery in London, Modern Eden Gallery in San Francisco, the Art Gallery of Mississauga, and Arch Enemy Arts in Philadelphia. Booth’s works are part of private collections in Canada, the United States, England, and Australia.
