Neil Moore’s uncompromising figurative paintings, combining impeccable technique and thoughtful content, have been exhibited widely in Europe and the USA.

“Like many others I live a life of quiet desperation and my studio is the refuge where I use painting to unravel life’s confusion and hopefully figure out why some experiences distress, intrigue or amuse me. People both fascinate and perplex me. All my imagery therefore relates to either people I know or to humanity more generally. Viewers are often misled by the exactitude of the style into thinking I know what I am doing (ie.Trying to tell them something), whereas, paradoxically, I am actually trying to find out something.”

A lifelong advocate of the continuing relevance of drawing and painting from the figure, both as an essential activity for developing visual awareness and as an art form in itself, he offers courses in life drawing and painting. For more information about life classes, please email the artist.
