Ray Moore

Most of my work is as an extension to my musical background and the love of word play. I collect the information around me by sampling the elements of my environment in which I cut, splice, loop and replay these samples which translate into the current artwork I am working on at the time. I love beautiful accidents.
Many aspects of my Afro-American heritage populates my work in different layers. I like injecting language into my work by using elements of the hip hop culture. In some of the work you can see the influence of the songs I listen to when creating. I may take some phrases and words from the music or just try to capture the mood of the song. Poetry and various elements such as typography and figures come together to form multi-layered compositions. I see painting as a way of venting my emotions.
