Rob Moore is a professional painter and printmaker working from his painting studio and printmaking workshop in Irton near to Scarborough UK. He also organises and curates art exhibitions at The Old Parcels Office in Scarborough (OPO) and regularly plans and run live and original music events at the OPO.
His paintings are largely imaginative abstracted landscapes that often contain symbols and metaphors relating to change in our environment related to climate change . The content comes from a visual language developed over time and inspired by observation, history, memory, geography and noticing places and other landscape based phenomena experienced on walking in a variety of wonderful places.
Rob has an extensive record of one person and group exhibitions undertaken over many years across the UK in museums and art galleries in the public and private sector. His studio is usually open to visitors during Open Studios events in Yorkshire (North Yorkshire Open Studios ) and also through an appointment by interested art lovers who can email Rob via his contact page on this web site.
