Neil Moore
Neil Moore’s work is about people. Some of his paintings relate to people he knows and some to his experience of society, either directly or through the arts
and media. His works are an attempt to rationalise his internal confusion and perhaps give some coherence to experiences that concern, intrigue or amuse him. The images are purely intuitive – ideas may be ‘screened’ to avoid clichés or sentimentality but generally they are not analysed by the artist. They reveal something of him, even to himself. The paintings, despite the figurative and narrative clarity, are not intended to be taken literally – they are intended as visual metaphors. The 'realistic' appearance of the paintings can be misleading and lead people to assume content and theme. The artist paints what he believes to be common concerns and an honest reflection of the society in which we all live.
