Harry Moody’s “Abstract #327” consists of four primary colors that correlate directly with some strong psychological properties. Red is the longest wavelength in the color prism. It has the property of appearing to be closer than it is and grabs your attention first. Blue is believed to be the color of the mind and is essentially soothing, which creates relaxation. Yellow is a relatively long color and essentially stimulating, in this case the stimulus is emotional. Green is a color that strikes the eye in such a way as to require no adjustment and is therefore is restful.
To see Harry Moody’s paintings in person, be sure to visit the gallery before his solo exhibition “Untitled” closes on Saturday April 7, 2018.
Harry Moody, Abstract Clouds #307, 30 x 30 x 2 inches, Oil on canvas
“All of my paintings are foremost inspired by nature. When I paint, I do not try to simulate nature in a recognizable representation. I use nature as a point of departure. The actual painting process is a metaphoric journey with allegorical attributions. I catch myself inserting “life” without attaching figurative associations, conceptual forms or themes. Life in the sense as a summary (past, present and maybe future) of who I am. While painting, feelings flow, such as fears, frustrations, inhibitions, anxieties, also joy, contentment and gratitude. Along with feelings, memories of past experiences, failures and accomplishments, manifest themselves.” – Harry Moody
Harry Moody’s current solo exhibition “Untitled” will run at FP Contemporary until April 7, 2018.
“Abstract with blue #281”, 48 x 50 x 2 inches, oil on canvas
Harry Moody received his formal training as an artist at the Frankfurt Stadel Fine Art Academy in Frankfurt, Germany. Karl Otto Götz, one of his earliest mentors and one of the most important members of the German Art Informel movement, encouraged Moody to enter the school. He majored in Free Painting under the Professors Johannes Schreiter, Thomas Bayrle and Josef Beuys. In 1985, also at the Stadel Academy, he was introduced to the works and philosophies of the then residing Guest Professor Gerhard Richter who eventually profoundly influenced the artistic direction that Moody was to embark on. During this period he engaged with internationally renowned artists who would come to be known as key figures in New European Painting movement among other notable contributions.
