Overview
Born in London, David Scott Moore is a multi-award winning artist.
He has exhibited widely in the UK, particularly in the South of England and London, in group exhibitions, fairs and solo-shows, and has collectors world-wide. He is known for his minimalist, intuitive, atmospheric oil landscapes, bordering on the abstract and representational.
David says of his work, “Painting outside ‘en plein air’ affords a spatial freedom. The feelings and thoughts that arise during the process of creating a landscape outside are subtly recorded within the painting in ways that reach beyond initial intentions of design or thought. An evolving set of processes, partially formed from memory of the live locations and partially from the subsequent studio discoveries. Ultimately, I hope to invite close observation of the spatial interplay between a landscape painting’s imagery, its surface and the whole object on matters of: space, colour, form and complex experience.”
His paintings’ locations have included: The South Downs, Sussex Forests and waterways, The New Forest, Hampshire, Tuscan mountains, Alpilles Mountains, The South of France and the riversides of Avignon and Arles, The Arun Valley’s protected wetlands, The Malvern Hills, Herefordshire, Lindisfarne and Scotland.
In his background, he was taught by painter John Macraffry during Art Diploma, gaining a distinction, then achieved an honours degree in 3D Art from Manchester Metropolitan University, which included thesis’ correspondences with Turner Prize Sculptor, Richard Deacon. Afterwards, he worked in the arts industry on the large works of Anselm Keifer and Anish Kapoor as a sculptor, then taught as a lecturer, before becoming solely a landscape painter.
