About the artist

Eric Moore's story doesn't start like many established artists. Unlike many of his artistic peers, Moore has not been drawing and creating art since he was young. He began drawing and painting in his early twenties after being inspired by the live painters he saw at music and arts festivals while he was in college.

Almost 10 years later, in 2019, Moore began focusing full-time on art. He expanded the scope of his artistic interest beyond the visionary art style that was common in the festival world he came up in. Throughout 2019 and 2020, he explored new styles and developed a contemporary visual vocabulary that was imbued with recursive themes like geometric abstraction, minimalism, and color field painting.

This new body of work focuses on the emotive capacity of color through the interaction of color, light and line. Moore's contemporary color field paintings entail large swaths of saturated gradations that seamlessly transition from one color to the next, as well as sequences of concentric color bands that explore the multifaceted relationship between color, beauty and the viewer.

On a theoretical level, Moore favors the emotional impact of aesthetics over cerebral content. He aims to affect viewers viscerally rather than cognitively. His work embodies a minimalist ethos that doesn't attempt to reference anything external. By transcending our commonly held language, Moore is creating the space for a contemplative experience of pure subjectivity and abstraction. Ultimately, Moore's primary objective is simply to elicit a feeling of beauty.
