donald moffett artist profile

Donald Moffett's latest exhibition, "Snowflake," opened at Alexander Gray Associates in New York, marking his first solo show in the city since 2019. The exhibition features extruded oil paintings created with cake-decorating tools, including works like "Lot 052525 (nature cult, melt 1)" and "Lot 061625 (nature cult, melt A)," which depict melting snow as a metaphor for the climate crisis. Moffett draws a parallel between this show and his 1989 exhibition "I Love It When You Call Me Names" at Wessel O’Connor Gallery, both titles reclaiming derogatory terms—"homo art" then, "snowflake" now—as acts of defiance. The palette is predominantly black and white, reflecting what Moffett describes as "dark times" and the stark choices of the current political climate.
