Kristin Moore
"Hollywood (Dusk)" -- Skyscape Painting by Kristin Moore, 2023

2023

About the Item

KRISTIN MOORE, a native Texan, holds an MFA from Otis College of Art & Design in Los Angeles and BA in Art from St. Edward’s University in Austin. Kristin’s paintings can be found in collections across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Solo exhibitions include Jonathan Ferrara Gallery in New Orleans, Commerce Gallery in Lockhart, St. Edward’s University in Austin, and Bolsky Gallery in Los Angeles. Select group exhibitions include the Tyler Museum of Art in Tyler, Jonathan Ferrara Gallery in New Orleans, Lorin Gallery in Los Angeles, and Talon Gallery in Portland. Kristin currently lives and works in Dallas, TX. While living in LA working on her MFA, Kristin began to consider the human experience in relation to location as a reference for her work, and she also fell in love with film. The Hollywood nostalgia prevalent all over Los Angeles became a launching pad for her cinematic view of the landscape around her. She began to consider the way we experience films, and approached art making the same way. While at Otis College of Art + Design, she worked with a team of amazing professors (all artists themselves), who always encouraged her to look outside the studio for inspiration. During one studio visit in particular, Kristin was encouraged to visit Kenneth Hahn Park in Culver City for reference photos. It is that first trip to Kenneth Hahn that changed the way she painted moving forward. The smog blanketing the cityscape of LA from such a high point created an atmosphere she couldn’t paint enough of. Kristin began a series of what she called “smog paintings” that explored the cloudy atmosphere of LA at different angles and times of day attempting to recreate the aura of the sprawling city. This practice evolved into the landscape work Kristin creates today. Her love for capturing the aura of a location through painting was amplified when she first visited Marfa,TX. While living in LA, Kristin often would travel to and from Austin in-between semesters. Marfa became a transitional pitstop for her to shake off the edginess of LA and take a breath in the open landscape of West Texas. “Being in the landscape of West Texas is almost like visiting another planet. You can see for miles and miles with no building in sight; the landscape slows down time and calms your mind.” - Kristin on Marfa. Upon moving back to Texas from California in 2016, Kristin continued exploring the landscapes and highways around her through painting. The experience of living outside her home state had sparked a sense of wanderlust into Kristin’s work; a longing for endless landscapes and wild sunsets was juxtaposed by a desire to capture Americana and architecture of the cities around her. Today, Kristin’s work continues to oscillate between the landscapes of California and Texas, with a continued expansion to the Western U.S. "Hollywood (Dusk)" revisits an iconic aspect of the Los Angeles skyline in Kristin Moore's signature style. Through Kristin Moore's sense of realism with hints of impressionist style, "Hollywood (Dusk)" invokes a sense of nostalgia, recreating this familiar image in a liminal and dreamlike perspective.

High Hat Motel
By Kristin Moore
Located in New Orleans, LA
Born and raised in Houston, KRISTIN MOORE began attending art classes at the Glassell School at a young age. She moved to Austin in 2009 to obtain her BA in Art from St. Edward’s University. Soon after graduating, Moore moved to Los Angeles to pursue her MFA at Otis College of Art + Design. Moore’s first solo exhibition, Rear Window, was unveiled during the culmination of her participation in the MFA program in 2016. Upon moving back to Texas, Moore continued to explore contemporary landscapes through painting. The juxtaposed architecture of LA, the smoggy atmosphere, and unique characteristics of the city became source material for her work. Upon moving back to Texas in 2016, Moore viewed Austin through the same lens; the architecture is quickly changing, a new atmosphere is emerging, and the skyline is directly reflecting those elements. Oscillating between these two bustling cities of Austin & LA, lies the open space and peaceful landscape of Marfa. Texas. Often a favorite pit stop during the long road trips back and forth from Texas to California, Marfa holds space as a source of continued inspiration for Moore. Her Texas roots and California influence have culminated into her current body of work. Often inspired by Ed Ruscha’s work Every Building on the Sunset Strip and A Few Palm Trees, Moore sources the images that influence her paintings from her many car rides, walks, and hikes up to overlooks. A homage to Hollywood, Moore also finds visual influence for her work in the world of film; particularly from visionaries such as Stanley Kubrick, Ridley Scott, and Alfred Hitchcock. Her work has been featured in group exhibitions such as Turbulent Landscapes at Modified Arts in Phoenix, AZ, Excavations; Shindig at Mantle Art...
