"SYSTEMS"

Born in Lubbock, Texas, Robert Moore was still a child when his family moved to southern New Mexico. Growing up in an expansive desert landscape profoundly influenced his artistic consciousness - a circular rhythmic energy measuring life. A decade of melancholic paintings - pairing ancient imagery and filigree with male/female components - gave way to a new era. As a dramatic change swept through his life, intuitive childlike playfulness began to form paintings with more personal imagery and symbolism.
