About the Item
Whether it is from nature or from other sources he comes across in his daily life, Andy Moses is always highly attuned to his environment for inspiration. Swirling bands of serpentine color move in whirling striations on the circular canvases or “tondo’s,” lend themselves to a more abstracted visual, where the horizontal, concave panels give impressions of horizons and/or ocean-scapes. In the large circular work Geodesy 1239, the mother-of-pearl palette was inspired by a black lacquer tray inlaid with the iridescent mollusk shells from the Ryukyu Islands. Moses saw Circular Tray with Two Dragons Chasing a Flaming Pearl (1700-1800) in , The Five Directions: Lacquer Through East Asia at Los Angeles County Art Museum. Drawing from the tray’s motif, formal shapes, lines and palette, Moses abstracted the figuration depicted.

Andy Moses
b. 1962, Los Angeles Andy Moses is an artist who lives and works in Venice, California. He was born in Los Angeles in 1962 and attended California Institute of the Arts from 1979 to 1981. At CalArts he focused on performance, film, and painting, studying with Michael Asher, John Baldessari, and Barbara Kruger. In 1981 he moved to New York and worked for the artist Pat Steir. Later that year he developed a type of process painting that is simultaneously abstract and representational. Moses is interested in pushing the physical properties of paint through chemical reactions, viscosity interference, and gravity dispersion to create elaborate compositions that mimic nature and its forces. He was in his first group exhibition at Artists Space in 1986 entitled, Selections. He had his first solo exhibition in New York at Annina Nosei Gallery in 1987. He has continued to exhibit his work in New York, Los Angeles, and abroad over the past twenty-five years. He moved back to Los Angeles in 2000 were he continues to refine and expand the vocabulary of his specific painting processes, imagery, and interrelationships with the technical and natural world.
