From Janette Kennedy Gallery:
“The Janette Kennedy Gallery presents Flora, a solo exhibition of paintings by Claire Moore. This series of paintings was inspired by a return to nature prompted by the pandemic and her return to Texas following over a decade in New York City. As health concerns regarding indoor gatherings escalated, the amount of time many spent outdoors grew. Long walks and new hobbies like gardening provided solace and a reprieve from stress, grief, and the monotony of domestic environments. Extended periods digging in the soil and tending a garden, coupled with a sense of confinement as we sheltered in place, inspired new tightly cropped compositions investigating previously overlooked details of plant life. Dense foliage envelops the canvas simultaneously evoking comfort, akin to the pressure of a weighted blanket, and claustrophobia. In light of the extreme weather we’ve experienced in North Texas in recent years as our climate continues to change, the plant life featured in these works has also come to symbolize the resilience of the natural world and people in times of duress.
About Claire Moore : Claire Moore is a Dallas based artist that creates works inspired by the natural world. Moore received her MFA from Hunter College in New York City and BFA from the University of Texas at Austin. She is currently a resident at The Cedars Union art incubator program.”
