Rob Moore is a painter and printmaker who is a full time artist after leaving lecturing posts in art schools several years ago. Rob studied at Loughborough and Sheffield Art Colleges before being awarded the prestigious Granada Fellowship in Fine Art at The Institute of Advanced Studies in Manchester.

He currently works from a large studio in Irton near Scarborough where he and his wife artist Wendy Tate have painting and printmaking spaces. Rob is happy to receive interested visitors to his studio by prior appointment.

He is also an exhibition curator currently organising art exhibitions and music events at The Old Parcels Office in Scarborough UK. He set up Eleven Gallery in Hull in 2010 and left that in 2017 to paint full time.

For many years Rob was an abstract artist making huge paintings that were exhibited in non commercial museums and art galleries across the UK. On moving to Yorkshire in 1986 his work started to include suggestions of landscape in his sketchbooks and smaller works and in moving to the Yorkshire Wolds in the late nineties the surrounding landscapes made a big impact on him and although the work retained abstract qualities the paintings and prints were definitely about the places he lived in and visited.

In recent years although Rob continues to make images directly in sketchbooks to record his travels his large studio paintings are more imagined. The artist Jake Attree describes Rob’s work as “accumulative“ in that Rob’s paintings and prints now respond more to how our environment is affected by the warming of our planet and its effect on our coastlines, trees, geography and ice caps. Content is drawn from multiple sources and assembled in abstractions that are both beautiful for the colour and processes but that also contain suggestions of change to our surroundings.
