Dramatic illustrations that focus on colour and light by Tom Moore

American illustrator and visual artist Tom Moore loves to focus on mood as the primary means of communication throughout his work. And his emphasis on colour and light create dramatic scenes.

Written By:
A figure in blue sits at a desk gazing out at a city skyline through a window, with an orange sun and grey buildings visible in the distance

Influenced by artists such as Hopper, Lautrec, and Beckmann, the figures in his images experience a wide range of emotions. His most recent series explores situations you might find yourself in throughout the art world, including everything from art gallery conversations to museum visits and dealing with art collectors.

Based in St. Louis, Moore received his MFA in Visual Art from Washing University and is now available for a variety of illustration projects for print or web. Discover more of his beautiful work at www.tommooreillustration.com.
