About

An abstract oil painter, Marianne Moore’s works are concerned with agency and sovereighty.

Self-portraits in abstract form, Moore’s paintings are both an externalisation of her inner life, and informed by wider themes of femininity, history and social justice, as well as her parallel work in human rights.

Moore has been painting abstract works for over 20 years. Since her first exhibit in 2011, she has shown her work in solo and group exhibitions for a range of galleries and exhibition spaces across London. Her work has been featured in Forbes and on BBC Pashto.

Her most recent collection, DESCENT was presented at Gallery-Art@111 in Highbury, London during September 2025. In her 2024 solo exhibition Remembering she depicted a personal as well as collective Remembering, illustrating aspects of feminine power from ancient times to the present. This followed on from her 2022 solo exhibition Opening where she explored the transformation of something hidden into that which demands to be seen. Prior to, and around these, she has exhibited in group shows and solo shows such as Monochrome in 2018 and Chequered in 2015 inspired by her human rights work in Afghanistan. Her earliest works were predominantly Cathartic, communicating her deepest emotions.
