ABOUT
About the Artist
The portfolio has been painted by Lionel Moore a self-taught artist based in Buckinghamshire. After a career in IT and Finance, he embraced a long-standing passion for art and transitioned into a semi-professional practice. The work merges the romanticism of Pre-Raphaelite art with the bold aesthetics of Pop Art, creating a distinctive style that defines my creative identity. He accepts commissions and sells original pieces privately, at exhibitions, and through the No Naked Walls gallery in Guildford. The artworks are held in private collections across the UK and North America.
Artistic Inspiration
He is deeply inspired by the interplay of celebrity and mystery—drawn to both contemporary icons and the timeless allure of classic cinema. This fascination informs a body of work that brings together historical elegance and modern cultural commentary. By fusing Pre-Raphaelite symbolism with Pop Art’s vibrant energy, it creates visually arresting pieces that celebrate iconic figures from both past and present.
About the Work
Using oil paints, Lionel produces vivid and dynamic figurative compositions. Each piece combines the meticulous detail of Pre-Raphaelite tradition with the bold lines and colour palettes of Pop Art. The result is artwork that is visually striking and pays tribute to renowned personalities in a fresh and contemporary way.
