The paintings of Rochester-based artist Kurt Moyer have been exhibited in numerous public and private institutions across the country, including the Gross McCleaf Gallery in Philadelphia, PA, the eDavid Gallery in Bethlehem, PA, and the Susan Maasch Gallery in Portland, ME. “Usually,” Moyer explains, “a place or experience provides me with the inspiration I need to start, but it is the working process - the hours, days, and months spent working and reworking - that allows the painting to grow and become more self-directed.” His work predominantly derives from nature and experience, but “many times the work veers radically away from its beginnings.” Moyer considers this divergence to be a positive aspect of his work, producing in the end “something new.”
New Paintings examines man’s relationship to nature. Moyer paints mostly on site in order to fully integrate with his surroundings, which enables him to “create artwork that has universal and autonomous beauty.”
