About Carl Moore
Born in 1941, Carl Moore had his first works exhibited in New York City at The Griffin, an art gallery/restaurant located in the East 40s near the United Nations. His Impressionist oils were displayed alongside works by established artists, appealing to a sophisticated clientele and encouraging him to explore other genres. Moore was also working as an interior designer at the time, having graduated from The New York School of Interior Design.
In the late 1970s, Moore relocated to Houston, Texas, where he continued working in the design field for builders and private clients. This eventually led to the creation of a successful antiques and decorations importing business from Europe to Texas, known as Carl Moore Antiques. The business gained worldwide recognition after being featured in national and European editions of design magazines. Despite its success, the company was sold following a serious illness.
In the early 1980s, Moore opened a large art gallery near his antiques store, showcasing an eclectic mix of 18th and 19th-century oils along with show-casing his own large format Impressionist and Abstract works. The gallery was success and well-received by interior designers and private clients.
Following his prosperous career and the closure of the gallery, Moore established a working relationship with MAI, a popular designer source for art and furnishings, which continued until he moved to Florida in 2020. At 83 years old, Moore's works can be found on permanent display at 5 Star Residences of Pompano Beach. He continues to paint and create oil on canvas works that reflect his observations of the human condition, as well as provocative Abstract and Expressionist pieces.
Carl Moore is a member of the Broward Art Guild, and ArtServe, Fort Lauderdale.
