Bridget Moore, Boy and the Evening Sky, 2024
Gouache on mount-board, 31 x 32cm (framed)
Figurative painter Bridget Moore works primarily in gouache, as well as oils and mixed media. Her imagery explores the theatrical atmosphere of circuses and fairs, as well as the intimacy of domestic scenes. Memories of childhood, along with her imagination, inform Bridget’s works, which are often characterised by dramatic lighting which – in her words – ‘transforms figures’.
‘Boy and the Evening Sky’ is one of a pair of framed paintings on card by Bridget included in our ‘Almost Blue’ 2024 group exhibition and online collection. The artist painted this atmospheric portrait from life using her nephew as a subject in the south of France. Set in the heady atmosphere of dusk, the small, moonlit figure seems dwarfed by darkening trees around him.
Bridget was born and brought up in Whitstable, Kent. She studied at Medway College of Design, Epsom School of Art and the Royal Academy Schools. She has exhibited widely in many group and mixed shows across the UK including the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, The Sunday Times Watercolour Competition, the Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize and has exhibited in and also been an invited artist for The Discerning Eye. Her work has also been shown in the USA and China where it is now held in a permanent collection in Qingdao Art Museum.
Bridget has received several awards including the Greenshields Foundation Prize, the De L'aszlo medal and was a runner up in the Lynn Painter-Stainers Competition. She is a member of the Royal Society of British Artists, the New English Art Club, the Royal Watercolour Society and the Small Paintings Group.
Bridget lives and works in Surrey.
