Andrew Lawson writes:

'There is an urgency about John Moat's painting, as if he can't help himself responding to something seen. Frequent subjects are plants and flower arrangements from the garden. The annual tumescence of Amaryllis bulbs sends the sap rising in his brush. He is totally relaxed about technique. Onto a base of hand-made paper he builds up glazes of water colours and inks, sometimes diluted with varnish or wallpaper paste. The surface is scratched back to the paper in places and built up elsewhere with wax, gouache, oil paint, pastels and even gold leaf. The resulting layers of colour glow like stained glass.'
