shadovvs is the latest project from american artist & designer matt w. moore. the project was undertaken during a 2 month stay in oakland, california, and a 2 week residency within 886 geary gallery where moore constructed a new body of work that fuses his bold, graphic, op-geo vocabulary with extruded mosaic forms that bring the works to life in three dimensions.
the series is activated by the angle and intensity of the light source, be it a deliberate directional
lamp, or the natural curve of each day’s sun cycle. symmetries and depth are revealed in a
spectrum of proportions, and color palettes are expanded upon, into numerous parallel hues
revealed by the shadows.
the exhibition is comprised of 5 chapters, each with its own concept and aesthetic. a series of
greyscale cut-paper mosaics created in montreal in fall 2014 is displayed as evidence of the
explorations that led to the layered sensibilities of the more elaborate colorful works created during this bay area residency.
