a dark forest between us and home , 2021. Acrylic and gesso on plywood panel. 70 x 70 cm
&Gallery is pleased to present the exhibition “From Berlin with Love” by Emily Moore. This is the first exhibition of the Artist with the Gallery.
This new body of work sees Moore moving away from the mountainous landscapes of previous work towards the urban environment. However, the tension between nature and the built environment, present in previous paintings, is still the driving force behind these new works.
Her new work focuses on the stark facades of modern tower blocks, inspired in part by a trip to Berlin, and latterly, places closer to home. The sharp lines of these modernist forms are overlaid with intricate patterns of leaves and tree branches.

the woods seem brighter than they should , 2021. Acrylic, gesso and oil pastel on plywood panel. 60 x 89 cm
Working directly onto wooden panels, Moore builds her paintings, layer upon layer, masking and cutting out the intricate patterns. These detailed layers overlap and contrast with the flat architectural forms, whilst also revealing glimpses of the expressive abstract paintings beneath. Her work often combines elements of abstract and figurative painting, the expressive brushwork and minimal geometric forms, interwoven with more recognisable figurative details.
Photography is central to Moore’s practice and the starting point for most of her work. Moore uses photography as a way of documenting her experiences, the creative process allowing her to alter and reframe these images to create new, anonymous landscapes.
