RORY D.L. MOORER
Loner Acrylic on Canvas 24” x 36”
Brilliantly fun and energizing, Rory D.L. Moorer’s
paintings can make us laugh, dance and exalt in a
variety of our favorite pastimes. Within his oeuvre, one will
discover images of sports, jazz and rock concerts, cultural
festivities, and tranquil sunset evenings. Moorer’s works are
a celebration of our time here; he points the way towards
a happier, jovial existence, poking fun while beseeching
us to focus on the positive rather than on our modern ills.
His brand of creativity is much needed in the contemporary
world and many works seem timeless in their human
appeal as if they are recording the moment for posterity.
Moorer’s style is fully evolved despite his youthful age and
is instantly recognizable for his approach to painting which
is straightforward and often nearly illustrative. He uses pure
bold colors and dramatic line work that infuses his painting
with a powerful sense of movement. Interestingly, the role
of texture is minimal, as instead he favors a distinctive use
of dramatic perspectives and radiant lighting schemas. He
pays close attention to detail, yet sways away from an overtly
realistic rendering since it could shatter the playfulness and
illusory quality that we are visitors in his world. We often
feel as if the moment has been magically freeze-framed
as persons running, jumping, cheering, or singing are all
caught in mid-air, a delightful voyeuristic tactic. Moorer
hopes audiences will “know about me through my works,
my sense of humor…my perspective on certain things, or…
stop for a minute and interpret something, anything,” Moorer
explains. “Not getting lost in the shuffle is half the battle,
to stand out is an accomplishment in itself.” Through his
Boulavard of the Bulls Acrylic on Canvas 40” x 48”
artistic talents, Moorer has reached out to his community,
painting murals in private and public schools that provide
kids with a shared experience through art. He has exhibited
his paintings frequently on the West Coast and along the
eastern seaboard, from Massachusetts to Florida. Rory
D.L. Moorer lives and works in Haddam, Connecticut.
