Neil Moore’s work is about people and for him they are the only subject. Some images relate to people he knows and some to experiences of society (either directly or through the arts and media). Moore is continually perplexed by people, both individually and collectively and the paintings are an attempt to give some coherence to experiences that concern, intrigue or amuse him. The images are purely intuitive and despite the apparent clarity, not intended to be taken literally – they are visual metaphors. In the artists own words;
“My experience of life is, in common with almost everyone, unremarkable. In general we share the same concerns and I have to trust that my paintings are an honest reflection of the society in which we all live.”
