Colin Moss 1914-2005: Artist & Teacher

16 January – 12 June 2010

This exhibition is a unique opportunity to see all the works of art in the Ipswich Borough Council collections by Colin Moss. An artist, teacher and art critic, who became well known for his honest depictions of ordinary life.

He was born in Ipswich but studied at Plymouth and the Royal College of Art before returning to his home town, where he would teach for 32 years at Ipswich Art School. Our everyday lives became Moss’ subjects; a woman brushing her hair, people watching a film, a couple kissing and soldier’s playing cards. An inventive artist he could capture these moments in oil, watercolour, prints and drawings. The art on show will reveal the diversity of Moss as an artist and his observations of life.
