Now on view in the Paul Henderson Gallery until 4th October 2025.
Gerald Moore: Works on Paper highlights Dr. Gerald Moore’s experimental approach to mixed media on paper. The works on display are notably more visually abstract than his paintings on canvas, offering a fresh perspective on his artistic practice.
Featuring pieces created between 1990 and 2000, the exhibition provides an overview of the evolution of Moore’s work on paper, marked by a sense of freedom and intuitive play.
Dr. Gerald Moore was a prolific artist who worked across the mediums of sculpture, painting and drawing. His career as an artist evolved over several decades. Since 1950, he exhibited his work widely, including at Whitechapel Gallery (1950), the Scottish National Gallery (1959), at Heal's Gallery with David Hockney (1961), Bath Festival (1982) and Cooperative K (Germany, 1994). The largest single collection of his work is now housed within the walls of Gerald Moore Gallery and works can be viewed on display at all times.
Alongside his work as an artist, Moore published several written works. This includes an anthology of poems entitled The Singing Dust (1976), children's book The Cuckoo Who Flew Backwards (1977) and in 1982 he published his autobiography, Treading in Treacle.
He passed away in March 2018 at the age of 91.
The Gerald Moore Gallery regularly features Moore’s artworks in curated exhibitions and also has a selection of his pieces on permanent display throughout public areas of the gallery, including the corridors and the Sculpture Garden.
