Emily Moore

b. 1983

Moore is a British artist based in London who completed her MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art in 2020. She was awarded the Valerie Beston Award in 2020 and had her debut London solo show at Ordovas Gallery in 2021. 

Moore's new series of textiles range from an update on the art historical tropes of minimalism to the immediate, transient moment of a flower in bloom. Following on from her recent Black Rose works, embroidered onto large-scale swathes of cloth, these more intimate, woven flower portraits made in the southwestern France present a glimpse of beauty as if seen in an instant. Moore has defined her own term ‘wildness’ in contemporary art, which applies both to her own multifaceted practice but also suggests a loosened, expanded state of painting compared to those more rigid, modernist examples of the grid or the striped form.
