​​Artist of the 90’s: 
The Electrifying Power Art of Victoria Moore ​

She's full-lipped, bold and sexy: she knows what she wants pleasure, high-voltage passionate pleasure. She's a hyper female, archetypal seductress, a 90's icon of women's sexual power expressed in the vernacular of the Madonna generation.

She's artist Victoria Moore's electric femme in stunning, high-impact' black and white acrylic. Ms. Moore's direct and forceful style employs the barest of high-contrast essentials women, no nurturing goddesses, are self-absorbed and indulgent connoisseurs of the sensational moment.

In Right There and Coming Home, crisp, fluid lines cascade like black tongues of flame down tensely yielding forms rapt in ecstasy. Her technique, suggestive of a photographic negative, creates the impression of a quick take etched in the white-hot heat of passion fleeting moment, a fantasy, a dream. The images are close up and powerful. Her works are frank, sophisticated and dramatic. They explode with energy. Their striking clarity lends itself to print making, so it is not surprising that she has recently expanded into publishing. Her first venture was Right There, published in a limited edition of 225. She now has two more pieces in production.

Ms. Moore began her career in 1973 as a publication and technical illustrator and later shifted to graphic design. By 1985, 30 percent of San Francisco’s top 10 companies were among her clientele. Successful as she was, she decided to move to Florida and direct her talent toward the fine arts. She has recently opened a studio in Sarasota where she is engaged in creating collaborative paintings with other artists of compatible style, The move has strengthened her career. In 1988, she represented Florida in a show of women artists in New York, and in 1990, she appeared in N. Y. Art Review and American Artist's Leading Contemporary Artists in America.
