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.
