Matthew Moore

John Matthew Moore is a talented botanical artist with a fresh approach to this well known genre. His medium of choice is the velvety, chalk enriched watercolour known as gouache, with which he excels in the mastery of colour and attention to detail.

The opaque pigments of gouache enable the South-Georgia native to achieve stunning effects ranging from light shining through petals to the deep, dark, rich tones of his red tulips.

Although the inspiration for his work is drawn from 17th and 18th Century botanical artists, his approach is fresh and modern. Unlike many artists in this field, John Matthew Moore’s paintings are larger than life with photo-realistic effects, seeming to explode off the page while still maintaining their scientific precision.

In recent years his works have been garnering increasing publicity and exposure and his paintings are represented in many prominent international and residential collections. In addition, his works have been placed in prestigious show homes including Southern Accents 2000 Capital Design House in Washington, DC (Barry Dixon, designer) and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s Design House
