From: PRESS RELEASE Category: ArtExhibitionsPress Release Date: 02 June 2009 Time: 08:13 AM Review: Sally Moore was born in Barry, South Wales in 1962. She trained at the Ruskin School of Art in Oxford and subsequently won a scholarship to study at the British School in Rome. From an early stage in her career Sally’s paintings made an impact, winning her awards at the National Eisteddfod, and at the Discerning Eye exhibition in London, where William Packer awarded her the critic’s prize. Sally also won the Welsh Artist of the Year Award in 2005. The painstaking, detailed style of Sally’s work has necessarily meant a very low output of paintings, with the result that her solo exhibitions are infrequent and always eagerly anticipated. Her surreal, often humorous paintings are in numerous private and public collections, including the National Museum & Gallery of Wales, National Library of Wales, Newport Museum and the Contemporary Art Society. The new group of paintings sees Sally develop her themes, where each painting is a mini psychological drama - often absurd, sometimes surreal and invariably humorous. Sally herself speaks of her hope that her paintings may both amuse and unsettle the viewer. Her collectors will be delighted with this superb group of new paintings which promises to repeat the success of her previous exhibitions. This show offers an opportunity to see 20 new paintings completed over the past three years. All of the work is for sale and may also be seen on our website www.artwales.com.
