BIO

b. Robert Moore (b. 1983, Des Moines, Iowa) is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist who is heavily influenced by socio-political events, cultural criticism, and collective identity related to the African American experience. Though he began drawing as a child, Moore fully leaned into a dedicated studio practice as an adult to facilitate healing and rehabilitation. 
 

He is proud to be an independent artist who has cultivated a loyal following around the world. His first solo exhibition Out the Mud debuted at ThinkSpace in Los Angeles in 2023. Recent group exhibitions include Operation Varsity Blues at Allouche Gallery in New York and Masterpiece II at Band of Vices in Los Angeles. His work belongs in esteemed private collections such as Dr. Joy Simmons, CFP Ayesha Selden, Dr. Michael Glassner, Wright Collection, DJ D-Nice, musician Lil Yachty and the permanent collection of the Louisiana Museum of Art and History. He has been featured in press outlets including Ebony Magazine, Design Milk and Complex.
 
Robert truly believes art should be felt and not just seen. The hope is that we are all felt and seen.
