Brett Anthony Moore

Says Brett Anthony Moore of this work, "Foraging with my wife on the hillside at our farm, Marley, I find the spectrum of fallen leaves, mushrooms, mossed rock and scattered feathers settling into my mind like jewels gathered in an unseen basket."

Moore deepens his ongoing exploration of colour theory through the luminous translucency of his back-lit paint skins. Each work becomes a site where abstract thought is unpacked with quiet precision – subtle shifts in form, deliberate irregularities, and layered chromatic decisions all converge to articulate a lexicon of contemporary abstraction.

Drawing from a tertiary-based palette, the compositions evolve from Moore’s close study of the bushland of Southern NSW. Observing the transition from winter to spring – when the landscape initiates its seasonal act of reinvention – the artist draws from a spectrum of native hues that emerge with new life. These colours, both delicate and expansive, inform a body of work that captures the elusive rhythms of the natural world through a refined, chromatic sensibility.
