MORGAN BOOTH

TOOTH & NAIL

solo exhibition

November 20th, 2025 - January 4th, 2026

Closing Reception: First Friday, January 2nd 2026

​

Arch Enemy Arts presents TOOTH & NAIL, a solo exhibition by Morgan Booth. Eight new paintings of powerful women, done in the artist’s signature monochromatic blue, stand before intense and opaque backdrops of fire engine red. Each of these women wears or wields some kind of weapon. From a samurai sword to ninja stars, a flail, arrows, and a barbed-wire bat, they brandish their fierce, feminine bad-assery with symbols of strength that span continents and millennia. 

 

“This collection is a reaction to my own experiences and to the collective experience of being made to feel small or unsafe. We are living in a time that often feels deeply unsafe, so for this collection, I wanted my characters to act as protectors and guardians for those that view them. They are warriors, simmering with feminine rage, poised and ready to defend, unafraid to take up space and stand tall.” - Morgan Booth

 

It’s not just the figures in TOOTH & NAIL that command the viewer’s attention. With her work, Morgan Booth plays with the perceptual experience and physical response to color, generating the same illusionistic intensity one might find in geometric op art. She achieves exceptionally clean lines and sharp contrasts through a technique of stenciling bold shapes next to beautifully rendered realism figures. Her mash-up of mediums and techniques adds an eye-catching vibration to the work; every painting is as bold and powerful as the women they represent, bringing a vibrant pop to any space they enter. 

 

Morgan Booth (b.1991) is based in Toronto, Canada. With some early formal training, she attributes her current style and mastery of technique to her own personal exploration with mixed media. Booth began showing with Arch Enemy Arts in 2023 after applying through our Spotlight Showcase, and her work quickly became a staple in our group shows, popular with collectors for her consistently clean and grabbing style. TOOTH & NAIL is the artist’s debut solo exhibition with the gallery.
