Gordon Moore's Second Solo Exhibition at Betty Cuningham Gallery Features Abstract Industrial-Inspired Paintings
From September 6 to October 13, 2007, Gordon Moore held his second solo exhibition at the Betty Cuningham Gallery in New York City. The display featured abstract artworks characterized by architectural outlines created with slender, taped edges, utilizing a color scheme of grays, tan, red, black, and white. Each piece was segmented into three parts, resembling a ribbon-like structure for a collaged appearance. The works, crafted on canvas, paper, and photo paper, drew inspiration from urban environments, particularly industrial beams. Key pieces included Scroll, Clothesline, Untitled (Tarpit), and Untitled (One in the Hand). The exhibition emphasized Moore’s expertise, employing thin layers of paint and materials such as pumice and latex to suggest movement and evoke memories.
