Brett Anthony Moore

Brett Anthony Moore’s art practice delves into the multifaceted nature of the human experience, exploring themes of interconnectedness, diversity, and the shared forces that bind us together. His work is defined by a distinct technical approach, blending colour in the form of what he calls ‘paint skins.’ Moore’s process of using polymer and acrylic mediums creates rich, textured individual layers that are assembled to evoke fluidity and depth.

Through his signature ‘paint skins,’ Moore aims to express not just the visible aspects of the work but the notion of energy flowing beneath its surface – each piece a dynamic interplay of movement and energetic presence. Moore’s work often interacts with light, shadow and form that shifts depending on the perspective of the viewer. This interaction between the artwork’s physicality and light suggests something beyond the individual elements of the work is at play.

Conceptually, Moore’s work invites reflection on personal experience and collective belonging. The layers of colour and texture in his pieces mirror the layers of our own lives; each unique yet interconnected. The colours blend and shift, symbolising the transient, evolving nature of ourselves. Through his abstract use of colour, form and texture, Moore’s work encourages a deeper contemplation. It asks us to consider how, despite our differences, we are constantly evolving together, shaping shared experiences that transcend the boundaries of the individual.

Majoring in painting, Brett graduated from the National Art School in 2021 and has gone on to show at Sydney Contemporary, Waverly Art Prize, The National Emerging Art Prize, Sculptures in the Garden and Gosford Regional Art Prize.
