Artist Registry


The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

RESUME

website: MOSESHOSKINS.net                                                                 

Moses E Hoskins was born in Iowa in 1953 where he spent his youth and some time as an adult. He was educated in public schools and attended a few colleges in the Midwest before attaining a BFA later on in 1981 from the University of Iowa School of Art and Art History in what could be construed as a last-ditch effort at Formal Education. As a visual fine artist his roots were in figurative rendering but Hoskins has worked abstractly since the mid 80’s. Residing in New York since 1988, Hoskins exhibits in a variety of venues. In NYC Hoskins exhibited regularly with OK Harris from 2000 until their closing in 2014 after 45 years. Hoskins is a recipient of grants for support of his work in manual media of painting, drawing and collage from the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation and also from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation.

Note: Most work from mid 70’s to mid 80’s consisted of private portrait commissions. Until I was about 31, I thought of myself as a portrait painter. I had learned proper painting technique and had a natural facility for drawing and capturing a physical likeness. Most of my work consisted of privately commissioned oil-on-canvas portraits. Except for charcoal drawings at art fairs, usually subjects did not sit but were rendered from my snapshots. Even then I was aware of the potential for aesthetic shortcomings in "slavish copies" and I did try to get past that. -Midway in this expanse I found myself in school again, this time in Iowa City at the University of Iowa. I recall meditations alone in the presence of the University's famous Pollock Mural, pondering for what it was I should be doing. After the degree work was finished in '81, I intermittently painted portraits as before. It would be a few years yet, around '86, that I would begin working abstractly.
