Russell Moses

The land; its history, physical and spiritual connections are concerns that underpin the art practice of Russell Moses an artist whose successful career spans close to thirty years.

Russell Moses was born in 1948 in Palmerston North, New Zealand. It was in the 1970's that Moses first came to prominence creating large pit-fired ceramic sculpture installations. He has a background in a number of mediums including painting, printmaking, ceramic art and sculpting. Moses is a self taught artist and has exhibited locally and internationally since 1980. His work is part of many public and collections throughout New Zealand and he has exhibited internationally in both Hungary and Scotland.

A 20 year survey exhibition of Moses practice was held at the Dunedin Public Gallery in 2008.
