Saturday 15th June 11am - 1pmWe are delighted to welcome back Edinburgh-based artist, Emily Moore, for her second solo exhibition with the gallery. Join us in the gallery to hear more about the exhibition over a coffee.
The event is really informal, so feel free to drop in anytime between 11am and 1pm to chat to Emily and view the work. The event is free but booking is required.
_______
Moore’s paintings take inspiration from the natural environment, particularly the mountainous alpine landscapes she has visited. For this exhibition the artist used an amalgamation of images from her photographic archive, spanning a variety of locations and years.
This new body of work sees Moore experimenting with a variety of materials and mark making. Working directly onto birch panels, Moore constructs her paintings, layer upon layer, an approach that owes a lot to printmaking logic. Hints of those principles can also be seen in her use of halftone dots, created by transforming a selection of her photographs using Photoshop.
Moore’s process entails shuttling back and forth between the analogue and the digital; the loose brushwork and hand-drawn elements contrasting with the intricate stencilled layers and geometric patterns. The paintings that emerge from this exchange reveal a hybrid form. Her compositions merge hard-edge geometry with fluid gesture to create inventive works that explore the possibilities of painting.
