About
Rue Bootay, a New York-born artist now rooted in the vibrant artistic landscape of Los Angeles, navigates the avant-garde realm of nonrepresentational surrealism with a style uniquely his own. His paintings, reminiscent of alien landscapes, weave a tapestry of organic shapes—sometimes sharp and angular, other times resembling cosmic amoebae suspended in the celestial void.

Drawing inspiration from artistic luminaries such as Gorky, Arp, Tinguely, and Miro, Bootay infuses his creations with a whimsical flare, transforming two-dimensional planes into dynamic, organic entities. His creative process is a spontaneous dance of intuition, eschewing sketches for a pure stream of consciousness that manifests as a visual journey into the depths of his mind. Proudly self-taught, Bootay honed his artistic skills on the streets of Sunnyside Queens as a teenage graffiti artist, and this gritty, urban foundation permeates his work with authenticity.
Now residing in Los Angeles with his family, Bootay's paintings have found homes in exhibitions and private collections across the United States and Europe, inviting viewers to explore the untamed landscapes of his imagination.
