The abstract works of Father Bill Moore are beautiful for their simplicity and deep autumnal colors and also have a rich surface texture that is ridged and rippled. “The tactile nature of the work invites all who see it to explore not only with their eyes, but with their fingers and hands as well,” he says. The artist works primarily in the medium of acrylic on canvas.
Fr. Moore, who has exhibited throughout California and beyond, seeks to access the unseen world through the physical world.
“I love to build up a surface, cut into it, tear it down and rebuild it until there is a natural harmony that takes place.” Despite their contemporary feel, his canvases have a timeless quality that is almost mystical. His art expresses love for the physical world, which he believes can link us to the spiritual realms.
