Digital artist Carl Moore produces an aesthetic like no other reveling in the uncanny, Moore’s animal prints are an exercise in contemporary surreality, achieved to extraordinary success. Merging the playful with the tragic, the absurd with the endearing, Moore produces highly graphic images, bold in their colour and compositional technique. For ‘Parrot’, the eponymous bird takes centre stage, its brightly coloured wings in tones of amber and gold spread across the flat, teal coloured background. The edges of the bird’s body and wings fade away into long drips of paint, as though the freshly made image has been left to run. ‘Parrot’ is oozing in surrealist style, loosely reminiscent of Dali with its melting motif, but unique in its strong graphic sensibility and an iconic intensity.
