Archie Moore  
Works in Stock | Biography
The Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarship 2001


© 2011

 

Born: 1970 Toowoomba QLD

Archie’s work communicates a deep understanding of cultural content from an urban viewpoint. His interest in language, seen throughout his work, developed from negative childhood experiences; however, he took ownership of these through deconstructing and altering their original meanings. Archie’s work is recognised nationally and internationally and he has been selected as a finalist five times in the Telstra National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Award. His works are held in a number of private and public collections nationally.
