My name is Carl E. Moore I was born in Canton Mississippi, I currently live and work in Memphis, TN as a professional artist and designer. I consider my art as a form of visual communication using simplicity and depth to express modern, social and economic conditions that affect our lives on a daily basis by taking advantage of current events and themes to create a connection between the personal and the public with the use of color and composition to express mood, beliefs and ideas.
My process of development is to combine complex content with simple forms of figurative imagery and surrealistic metaphors to build a narrative between the art and the viewer. I don’t think art should be complicated or directive, but left up to its viewer to form an opinion about how or whether to accept the work.
I’m constantly exploring different methods of production while maintaining a core style that reflects a consistent body of work. My art is heavily influenced by artist: Jacob Lawrence, Stewart Davis, Salvador Dali, Charles White and Michelangelo.
EDUCATION
Chicago Institute of Art, 1982 painting.
Canton Public High, Canton, MS 1983
Memphis College of Art, 1987, BFA
