Notes


About 

Carl Moore is a British artist who often makes work that sits on the fine line between comedy and tragedy, with a pinch of the absurd. 

His ‘Animals Pretending to be Other Animals’ work explores the complexities of identity in a postmodern world through the lens of simulation and the concept of avatars. These animals, who use paint and found materials serve as a commentary on the fluidity of identity in the digital age, where individuals can easily adopt multiple avatars and personas through online platforms to fit a certain image or ideal. 

Another body of work, the "Dripsters", are bold and colourful animals with their clear markings reduced down to individual drips of paint, which appear barcode-like in their simplicity. These works represent the commodification of nature and its erosion in the postmodern age.
