James Moore’s still life paintings connect the viewer to the painted object, inviting quiet contemplation of observed reality, a meditation on the present moment, the “now.” Moore’s objective is “to visually celebrate a conviction that the physical universe is a dramatic confirmation of an aware omnipresence. The material and the spiritual are not in conflict, they are integral.” Moore achieves visual integration through the play of light and shadow, subtle color harmonies, and solid, weighted forms that denote permanence and simplicity. The neutral-toned atmospheric space, lightly textured surface, and strong horizontal placement enhance a sense of calm.
