Emily Moore British, b. 1983
Emily Moore defines herself as a painter, her practice and the explorative sense of wildness can be palpably felt in her studio. Sometimes this takes form through the application of paint to canvas; other times through yarn and weaving, or installation, play and performance.
Emily Moore (b.1983 London) is a painter that lives and works in London. Moore graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2020 with a Masters in Painting.

In 2023 she was included in Rites of Passage, curated by Péjú Oshin at Gagosian in London.
Moore has created her own term ‘wildness’ in contemporary painting which she feels speaks both to her approach within her practice but suggests the state of contemporary painting through a lens of art history and its current context within the immediate conversations surrounding painting. Black Roses saw Moore expanding the language of ‘Wildness’ in the form of her creating her own visual coded language.
Although Emily Moore defines herself as a painter, her practice and the explorative sense of wildness can be palpably felt in her studio. Sometimes this takes form through the application of paint to canvas; other times through yarn and weaving, or installation, play and performance.
