Christian Moore is a self-taught contemporary artist known for creating works that incorporate bronze and organic materials on hessian.
Christian spent many years developing a his technique of ‘sculpting’ cold cast bronze directly onto the surface of his works.

The ‘cold cast’ is made in his studio using a fine bronze metal powder and a type of resin. Once cured, the metal is aged to suit the composition. He deliberately cracks the backgrounds of his work before bonding them to a flat backing surface. Colour is added to the background by adding and removing countless layers before the foreground texture is added using a mixture of ingredients including sand, paint and plaster. This texture is often a clean crisp white, which makes the painting feel fresh and modern and acts as a complete counterbalance to the weathered and worn background. The shadow/s of the subject are painted onto the foreground and then the work is sealed and protected. The creation of each piece is a laborious process but filled with love and passion for the art.

The titles of his works are as much a part of each piece as the raw materials themselves and it all starts with the name.
