A Certain Uncertainty
by OV Gallery
Location: OV Gallery
Artist(s): George MOORE
Date: 14 Nov 2009 - 7 Jan 2010

George Moore's art explores the ambiguous and the indefinite: meaning is always unstable and there is never a final answer - it always has 'a certain uncertainty'. He avoids discussing even his own personal perspective as to the meaning of particular works, leaving it to the viewer to decide for themselves. This can make interpretation difficult. Nonetheless, with slow acquaintance certain themes emerge from the works themselves: beauty masking cruelty; seriousness subverted by ridiculousness; and the act of looking itself. In his paintings, pastel works and drawings, shifting figures are half-glimpsed within abstraction, victims and voyeurs, a play in which we ourselves are complicit. These themes are reinforced by George's pictorial methods, including the combination of ambiguous overlapping spatial plains, the 'endless brushstroke', and exploitation of the natural visual ambiguities inherent in the materials themselves, whether acrylic paint, pastel pigment or charcoal.
