About the Item
"French Quarter (Decatur St.)", by Kristin Moore, is a part of her 2024 solo exhibition, “Through the Bayou, Into the Garden”, at Ferrara Showman Gallery. Marking a transition from her previous work, "French Quarter (Decatur St.)" shows Kristin Moore directing her eye and palette towards the city of New Orleans, while maintaining her persistent sense of wonder and liminality. Kristin Moore says of this series of her work…
“Through the Bayou, Into the Garden” pays homage to New Orleans, a city steeped in history, lore, and romance. This new body of work serves as a love letter to a place where the past oscillates with the present. Viewers are transported on a journey across the landscapes in and around the city, experiencing its timeless atmosphere and captivating aura.
As a Texan, I've taken many trips through the lush bayous of Louisiana and into the vibrant heart of New Orleans. The title of this exhibition reflects these travels, symbolizing the connection forged between myself and the city over the last few years. Each trip from Houston or Dallas, traversing bayous and wetlands and into the historic cityscape, serves as inspiration for the diverse landscapes and rich plant life depicted in my work.
This exhibition celebrates the architectural diversity and botanical richness that define New Orleans. From the iconic Spanish architecture of the French Quarter to the majestic Live Oak trees of the Garden District, each painting offers a glimpse into the city's multifaceted identity. Historical cemeteries, sprawling wetlands, and hidden mansions all find their place within the intricate fabric of these paintings, showcasing the city’s romantic, complex, and inherently impactful essence.
Through this body of work, I explore the sensory experience of wandering through the streets of New Orleans as sole observer. Whether it's the intimate allure of the Garden District, or the ethereal beauty of moss-draped trees in Metairie Cemetery each piece invites viewers to immerse themselves in the magic of the city. I hope that these paintings serve as a testament to the city's enduring allure and timeless appeal, inviting viewers to embark on their own personal visceral journey.

The straight lines and precise angles in his paintings might be found in math, architecture, and industry more readily than in grassy meadows or dense forests. But relying solely on this sort of metonymy is limiting. A more nuanced read reveals some of Middlebrook’s geometric patterns are also inspired by nature. Crystals and geodes...Category
