Jo And Jan Moore Romancing The Stone

New Mexico natives, Jo and Jan Moore,are among those rare lifetime studio artists able to cross boundary lines, working in multi-dimensional disciplines. Their compelling sculpture draws on inspiration from nature, displaying uniquely rich surfaces, exploring the inherent tension of the elemental forces contained within the stone. Listening to the spirit of the stone, the song of the stone, Jan and Jo typically allow the stone to suggest its sculptural form, often “daring” it to an extreme, if it will allow. For more than forty years, Jan and Jo have explored artistic themes in Stone, Bronze and Oil on Canvas. Sought after both nationally and internationally, their work graces such collections as that of Spain’s The Duke of Albuquerque; multiple public installations within the collection of the Albuquerque Bio Park, including the Bronze Entry Gateway, “Deserts that Bloom in Fragrance and Flower” depicting more than 1000 cast Bronze Botanic elements. A lifetime of works round out numerous Public Installations, among them The University of New Mexico, with multiple two and three dimensional installations, and The College of Santa Fe Outdoor Sculpture Collection.
