NEIL MOORE
Neil Moore is a painter with studios in Italy and Australia. His career includes working as an illustrator and exhibiting as a fine artist in various galleries across Europe and Australia. Moore’s paintings are created on panel or canvas, blending a modern sensibility with traditional working methods which evoke phantasmagorical visions.
"From the start his work showed a commitment to a European tradition but interpreted with a freedom and an appreciation of the contemporary that locate them firmly in the present. The high technical level works to establish the credibility of imagery that blends themes taken from history and mythology with preoccupations, even obsessions, of an often highly personal nature. The artist’s debt to Surrealism is clear, but his command of the representational capacity of oil paint and love for the fall of light link him to older and more subtle antecedents."
