New abstract painting on canvas. Abstract with gloss and acrylic relief in yellow, white and fluorescent marbling

Presenting my latest work, Untitled with Disruption [Abstract with gloss and acrylic relief in yellow, white and fluorescent marbling]. 

100 x 100cm, artist’s acrylic and water-based household gloss paint on natural canvas.

As with the other recent pieces that I’ve been making, this painting continues the exploration of my ongoing body of work which started around 7 years ago.

In general my work is quite purely about process, materiality and more simple perception of abstract art, focusing on colour, composition and material, but in the last 3 years or so I have felt that my own personal interaction with the works, and the application of myself to them and how I feel when making them is becoming more apparent.

The last few paintings have been articulating expansion, clarity and calm, this particular piece explores some feelings of deliberate disruption. The blatant contrasts of surfaces, strong use of asymmetry and angled lines create energy and momentum are specifically pushing towards a strong feeling of positive disruptiveness in this particular painting.

This coincidentally mirrors aspects of my life, especially in this last year. It has been one of continued upheaval, adaptation and positive reinvention of myself. The personal aspect is a new strand of influence upon my work, although the core aspects of painting process and abstraction are still the foundations of it.

As with all creative processes, the painting contains elements of experimentation, risk-taking, conversation with the piece itself, and this results in changes and developments which bring it to a new space.

The process that led to the completion of this piece took itself through an experimental and therefore disruptive stage before turning some large directions to bring it to completion. If you were to peel back the layers and see what’s hidden under the surface you’d find a stage of the painting that happened which was entirely different, but which I felt the need to hide in favour of a final aesthetic. The experimentation has pushed me towards a yet-newer colour palette than the last sequences of paintings. This palette feels as though it’s shaking things up, which is something that I was looking for as I felt that my colours were becoming limited.

The colours that I have been using for the last 5+ years have become a strong part of the work I create. Observing those who look at my work I’m energised and filled with the positivity of those who are brought into my environment. I feel that the work has the potential to uplift its viewers and to make them feel a sense of positivity and happiness, partially through colour theory and immersion within environments.

The background of this work:

In this wider body of work, there is an amplification of the experience of colours, layers and planes of the painting surface into three-dimensionality, enhancing the vibrance, brilliance and clarity of colour.

The natural duck cotton gives an organic contrast with the syntheticity of the acrylic paint and it complements and enhances the tones, transparencies and opacities of the applied planes of colour.

The geometric forms and layers nod towards a three-dimensionality and future plans to widen my practice into ‘other’ dimensions.

More about my current works in this decade

My close focus to the material of the paint and the canvas as being ‘as one’ continues to be a theme within these works, but adds in the additional aspects of light and the viewer, lifting the viewer bith physically and emotionally as they feel the ebergy of the work.

Through the exploration of the properties and abilities of paints to their most clear and luminescent ability, by using fluorescents, pastels and clean, pure colours, I aim to feel uplifted by the paintings and to share that energising impact of colour with the viewer. The paintings seem to glow and emit light bringing the colour to its highest light emission, in parts casting light out and off the canvas, bringing the focus on colour both into the painting plane itself yet also to its’ surroundings, and also showing the ability of paint with material (particularly in relation to pieces made from acrylic) to itself create light.

The ‘canvas’ both interacts with the paint as a layer itself, and provides the physical layer on which the paint can sit and perform to a great degree. By seeing surface textures through sheer veils of paint or heavy elevations in the paint application, we are reminded of the process of painting and the physicality.

By bringing the paint layers out from the ‘canvas’ we are able to experience two dimensions in a three dimensional way, in opposition to enclosing the three dimensions into a two dimensional illusion. We feel and we experience the energy that has been given by the artist to the piece through the process of painting which brings the painting into reality and this is reflected back at us.

New abstract painting on canvas.

I’m excited to present my latest work, Untitled [Abstract in yellow with whites, red and gloss relief]. 

100 x 100cm, artist’s acrylic and water-based household gloss paint on natural canvas.

This painting continues the exploration of my ongoing body of work which started around 7 years ago.

Within this painting I am continuing to evolve the planes and space while in the background, thinking forwards to a body of sculptural and installation works that I have skills funding for from Cultivator Cornwall and the Arts Council.

The background of this work:

In this wider body of work, there is an amplification of the experience of colours, layers and planes of the painting surface into three-dimensionality, enhancing the vibrance, brilliance and clarity of colour.

New abstract paintings on canvas for sale.

I’m excited to present 5 new works from December 2021 – Early January 2022. 

These paintings are warm and dynamic, experimenting strongly with contrasts between colour and surface, bringing to the attention the materiality of the paint.

In this wider body of work, there is an amplification of the experience of colours, layers and planes of the painting surface into three-dimensionality, enhancing the vibrance, brilliance and clarity of colour.

New Works

/November 2021

I’ve just released some brand new paintings for sale which are available to be purchased online.

Available to purchase online, or in-person from me by booking a private studio view

My 2021 latest paintings continue the work last released in 2020. By continuing the practice where I left off I’m pursuing a strand of work and exploration that has come from my body of work which is about an amplification of the experience of colours, layers and planes of the painting surface into three-dimensionality, enhancing the vibrance, brilliance and clarity of colour.

While the previous works explore a range of ‘canvas’ materials such as perspex, these current works are painted onto natural duck cotton which not only shows this beautiful natural flecked canvas in contrast to the fluorescents, but also complements the tone and enhances the tones and visual effect of the planes of colour.

By working to a smaller scale, I am able to experiment more wildly with energetic compositions and dynamics within the work and it enables me to take risks.

Private Art Studio Visits

Welcome back to private studio visits!

I’m so excited to be able to welcome you back to private studio visits! After the devastating fire at Krowji and huge periods with restrictions on opening up workspaces, and with Open Studios cancelled for the second time, I am keen to share my work with you.

An art studio visit is the perfect way to view art and get to know the artist, their work and processes and the ideal environment in which to view and buy art. Dealing directly with the artist you can see uncurated back catalogues, pieces that haven’t been published and really get a feel for a piece and experience it.

Getting the full creating experience.

My studio contains work in progress, reference pieces, finished works that are set aside for exhibiting or professional development, plus works that I am ready to release. In my environment I enjoy telling people about  processes and demonstrating how my work comes into being.

What to expect when you visit my studio.

In my own creating space it’s a relaxed environment. At present we have to adhere to social distancing, wearing masks and hand sanitising, but through Open Studios and my recent exhibition this has become easier to manage. If you’d like to learn more there is a section in this article about Covid protocol at Krowji. I’ll make you a coffee, we’ll chat about my work and if you’re interested, there will be some work available that you can buy including my ply panels, gloss paintings, larger oil and acrylic paintings, giclee art prints and Christmas baubles.  What’s for certain is that you might see something that isn’t on my website or the online shop

And if I want to buy something?

I’ll pack it and you can take it with you, or if it’s bigger we can organise delivery. We can discuss commissions too. I have card payment facilities, invoicing/ bank transfer, PayPal and other payment options.

So book a studio visit and see what might inspire you!

    New Works / Trudie Moore Exhibition October 2020

    New Works

    /October 2020

    An exhibition of painting and installation

    Join me for my solo exhibition of new works created during my residency at Gray’s Wharf in September and October 2020, and of key works from the last 12 months.

    On show at Gray’s Wharf Gallery from Tuesday 13th – Sunday 18th October 2020

    My 2020 solo show is an exploration of my abstract painting into installation, an amplification of the experience of colours, layers and planes of the painting surface into three dimensionality and enhances the vibrance, brilliance and clarity of colour.

    With the aim of using my residency at Gray’s Wharf to push the boundaries of my practice, I have used the space to stretch out and expand in size and concept. Through use of the light and airy space awarded by Gray’s to me, I have been given mental space, time, physical space and opportunity for reflection and deep focus.

    Together with the team at Gray’s Wharf, we would like to invite you to visit, experience and be surrounded by new works produced during the residency, along with a few other key pieces from the last year which have been produced exploring the same key themes of luminosity, material, process, composition, technique and colour.

    My new paintings explore a range of painting surfaces including natural canvas, acrylic and wood, at times creating three dimensional installation pieces which bring close focus to the material of the paint and the canvas as being ‘as one’.

    Through the exploration of the properties and abilities of paints to their most clear and luminescent ability, by using fluorescents, pastels and clean, pure colours, I aim to feel uplifted by the paintings and to share that energising impact of colour with the viewer. The paintings seem to glow and emit light bringing the colour to its highest light emission, in parts casting light out and off the canvas, bringing the focus on colour both into the painting plane itself yet also to its’ surroundings, and also showing the ability of paint with material (particularly in relation to pieces made from acrylic) to itself create light.

    The ‘canvas’ both interacts with the paint as a layer itself, and provides the physical layer on which the paint can sit and perform to a great degree. By seeing surface textures through sheer veils of paint or heavy elevations in the paint application, we are reminded of the process of painting and the physicality.

    About my paintings

    My paintings use fields of colour, transparencies and opacities that act as both a visual and an actual layer over one another, and which are layers upon the surface layer of the canvas.

    Naum Gabo at Tate St Ives 2020

    Naum Gabo at Tate St Ives 2020

    The Naum Gabo exhibit at Tate St Ives started in March this year and has been extended to run until this September. I went along in early March and here are my takeaway impressions and some photos of what you might expect if you have a chance to visit.

    We are so lucky in Cornwall not just to have an amazing local wealth of creative and artistic talent locally, and an immense history of modern art in the area, but also to have facilities like Tate St Ives to visit ‘on a rainy day’, to stretch the mind, educate and inform us without even leaving the Duchy (County to you and me!).

    When the Naum Gabo exhibition in St Ives started in early spring I went along with my (slightly short attention span and tantruming throughout the exhibit) son to take it in.

    My visit was, as such, quite short and so will be the information in this blog as a result, but short turned out to be very sweet. I found this was an exhibition I could go to see, learn and enjoy immensely, because the work here is very fast to comprehend and enjoy. Even if you look at it in amazement for the sculptural skill, visual impact, mathematical precision and calculations, or, as I did, the complete surprise surrounding the manufacturing techniques available in the era, you can be impressed by the forethought and modernity of it that still makes it feel futuristic and timeless today.

     

    His work combined geometric abstraction with a dynamic organization of form in small reliefs and constructions, monumental public sculpture and pioneering kinetic works that assimilated new materials such as nylon, wire, lucite and semi-transparent materials, glass and metal.

    Two preoccupations, unique to Gabo, were his interest in representing negative space—”released from any closed volume” or mass—and time. He famously explored the former idea in his Linear Construction works (1942-1971)—used nylon filament to create voids or interior spaces as “concrete” as the elements of solid mass

    What I enjoyed about Naum Gabo: Constructions for Real Life.

    The first extensive presentation of Naum Gabo’s sculptures, paintings, drawings and architectural designs to be held in the UK for over 30 years

    Tate St Ives

    I didn’t know that Naum Gabo had lived in Carbis Bay during WWII and been considered one of the St Ives Artists. This felt great to me as it drew a link for me between the location in which I now live. I have a pull towards the geometric visual style in my paintings, and the relationship of the three dimensionality in this sculptural work that resonates with the three dimensional direction I am currently taking in my own work. I could feel a connection with the sculptures and plans. I can feel the organic

    I made a mental note to myself to look up: Hyperbolic parabaloid, tensegrity structure and history plastic manufacturing (although these days I’m researching more into plastics re-use)… and you might add to that Constructivism (and give that to your child to do as homework for the school holidays!).

    I couldn’t believe how well some of the pieces have survived – the geometric acrylic sheet sculptures that have remained in immaculate condition are nearly 100 years old. You could be mistaken for thinking they were made in the 1970s, influenced by Star Wars or some other space odyssey, but in fact perhaps the reverse is true, perhaps films and architecture drew on the work of Naum Gabo as the innovator.

    The precision of the hyperbolic paraboloids, the mathematical calculations that went into them and the precise execution of the pieces. The hyperbolic paraboloids make for beautiful sculptures which are perfectly hand tensioned, each string or wire having the same degree of tension.

     

    For me this is a stunning exhibition, beautifully presented, amazingly well preserved and extremely educational and inspirational. If a 3 year old can lie on the floor having a tantrum because they don’t want to leave, that’s a good sign for taking older kids or the rest of your family along.


    Commissioning an artist

    You might be asking “How do I commission an artist? I don’t know where to find one, What should I expect? How do I start?”

    I’ve been undertaking commissions over 21 years, for me as the artist, it’s been simple, I chat to my client, we discuss what they like and I build a picture of what the painting is in my head that is what they want. But that’s not the scenario for the recipient as they just don’t know what they are going to get.

    I don’t know where to start

    Don’t worry, I do

    So you might be asking the same question ‘can you do something for me? What’s it going to look like?’

    There are so many ways of going about briefing an artist, or of carrying out a process for a commission. I’ve done them a few different ways:

    • the client asks for something that looks like something I have already painted and we chat about that and it either sets the brief immediately – style, colours, size OR it leads into new territory for something a bit (or completely!) different
    • I go to the house/ business/ location and we measure up, look at what’s already in the space (furnishings, furniture, light, space, materials and colours of objects in the room)
    • I take an existing painting around to a space to see how it works in the space, we talk about the colours/ space/ visual style and elements of the painting.

    Trust

    in the process

    Be brave

    There is a degree of trust and faith you need in order to take a risk. You aren’t in a shop looking at something that has already been completed and imagingin how it will look above your sofa or reception desk. You have to know and understand that the artist you’re working with has a strong sense of visual awareness and sensitivity both to you, your environment and the outcome you’re looking for.

    Take a chance

    This is the time to be adventurous. If you brief the painting to be safe, that’s what you will get. If something that is in the artist’s portfolio really appeals and is unique, stands out and is stronger than the rest of their work then that is the upper point of risk you might take. The more you talk the better the outcome. If you say ‘ I like that but that one is a bit adventurous, I feel like I should have this [safe] one over here, can we meet in the middle?

    Perhaps you like adventurous, perhaps you need reigning in? Maybe the bold colours need to be brought into line with your interior so that they don’t clash.

    There are so many variables.

    You can be guided.

    You can set the boundaries

    You can choose the size

    You can choose from a portfolio

    You can guide the colour choice (if you need or wish to)

    Or you can trust in the artist to create something with you in mind that is their vision.

    You can commission something that you choose to have no input into

    Their vision of you, or their vision of what you like. Or you can ask them simply to do something for the space that is completely of their own, that you will love, because the thing that drew you to them for a commission is an intrinsic part of what they do. You can work with their intuition and natural style. That way the piece you commission just might be the wonderful piece that makes the art collectable, valuable and unique and worth the most to you, to them and to the art world (if future investment is the thing you are after).

    How would you choose to run your commission? You have the power to both choose the artist you want to work with and the power to decide if the choices I have outlined above are available from the artist you choose.

    My process for

    commissions

    How I take commissions

    Here’s a sample of one of the ways in which I do commissions, hopefully you’ll find it a calm and reassuring process, there are some formalities but I try to keep it lightweight because that’s more enjoyable for both of us.

     

    A bespoke commission for an abstract painting in the style of my current body of work (geometric abstracts)

    You will enjoy the experience of commissioning a qualified artist to create a site-specific painting in collaboration with the artist. I have been creating commissions over 21 years.

    I’ll come to your site and chat about the possibilities for creating something that works specifically within that space and which can be seen as an extension of your personality or business through that environment. You might wish to come to my art studio or storage facility to view more paintings and discuss them more deeply.

    I will then send you a quote and a short contract to sign to commence work, I will also ask for a deposit to be used against materials (but the full payment is upon delivery).

    We might discuss points in the quote or the brief further at this point to check that what was discussed and put onto paper is still on track.

    If it’s an installation, or something more three dimensional, we might draw up some visual plans or light sketches to illustrate the mechanics of the piece, but you will be aware that the way that I work is an evolution with the painting itself and this is not controlled and contained planning as such (like for a design) it’s a piece of art that has a conversation with the piece itself.

    It is unlikely that I will show you the painting prior to delivery unless there are any queries.

    Your painting will be created and delivered within an agreed time frame (usually 6 weeks dependant on time of year/ drying times).

    I will give guidance on hanging the work but will not install the painting unless it’s painted direct-to-wall. 

    After delivery, I will ask to take photos and I might ask for you to send me photos after installation, or for a recommendation or social media sharing. I’ll ask you for permisison to share any photographs of your interiors or profile.

    What I will create for you

    You will commisison me to create:

    • A fine art painting on bespoke artists gallery canvas from Harris Moore or another professional canvas supplier, of your designated size (ply or acrylic on request) or an installation painting.
    • A specific piece of art that enhances and creates a feeling within your environment 
    • A site visit to your chosen location for the piece
    • The experience of having a piece of fine art created that will be specifically for you
    • All materials
    • Ownership of the final piece (creative license remains with the artist)
    • Installation of painting direct to walls OR delivery to location*

     

    Who commissions work best for

    This works best if you are:

    • Open to enjoying the process
    • Willing to place your faith in the artist to create something in their house style that has you and your space in mind
    • Have a sense of adventure and ambition about your project and its place in the artist’s body of work
    • Happy to work to the artist’s contract of sale

     


    Hello world and welcome!

    Welcome to my super cool new website!

    It’s been years in the dreaming, weeks in the building and eventually I bit the bullet to get on with a new site to showcase my paintings and my new start in Cornwall, view on mobile, buy more easily online and see all of my key information in one place.

    I’ve had a custom website built by Sallie-Ann at Hype Digital for probably 15 years and she’s been, and continues to be, a great web developer to look after my website needs.

    Sallie’s capable of looking after all of your website hosting, set up, e-commerce and web design whether you use Wordpress with a template and are a savvy user or a complete website phobe, or if you need bespoke coding and database needs. (Just a little plug here as I have been with her for a long time and she’s been awesome, responsive and accommodating and I know people go to her because of her skill and friendliness).

    I started a blog on the side of the website for my art interests at Blogspot (which I have kept live for now as I won’t be importing all of the posts are at the moment) and so this site means I can chat art and link al my inspirations through into my website so that you can see how what I see inspires me to practise the contemporary abstract painting style that satisfies me.

    If I go to an exhibition, gallery or view then this will be written about here alongside with showing you my latest practice, new paintings, working process and the critical theory that goes into my paintings.

    So for the first post, welcome and I hope you fin the site easy to look around, please let me know if you have any feedback on it that I can accommodate to improve it!

    And while you’re here, why not take a look at my portfolio!
