Robert Moore has spent the past 20-odd years living in the bush just outside of Grafton, NSW. He works either from his outdoor studio or in various plein air locations around the Clarence Valley.

His painting style is dependent on mood and environment. From hungry, robust applications to seize the light and landscape, to nuanced geometric layers revealing texture and shade, Moore’s handles paint in the spirit of the occasion.

This exhibition affirms Moore’s fascination with birds;

“they are beautiful beings to paint.

Wonderful shapes, great colours.

When I paint birds, I paint the

Landscape”.
