Moshe Newhouse

Moshe Newhouse, a contemporary abstract painter, graduated from the Montclair State University in Fine Art. His work is rooted in the material curiosities and playfulness of oil paint.

In the works of Moshe Newhouse, there is a characteristic technique used in old masters paintings. This style is called chiaroscuro, and it uses a dark color palette with light areas to create an effect similar to that of an Old Master painting. Then, he takes on these images in a somewhat violent but ingenious manner by pinching, puncturing, scratching or mutilating the surface using knifes, scalpels, heavy impasto paint and diluent. As a result- even though his works may seem like an eclectic contemporary artwork- they still maintain the unique characteristics of the old masters.

Moshe Newhouse's process of artistic transformation is to focus on the physicality of art objects. By removing and changing layers, he intends to reveal a freshness and an intensity in contrast to classical representations. He focuses on the physicality of art objects and used images- denying traditional representation.
