Wildlife, a thread that weaves the valley and community of Jackson Hole together. But when moose show up in our yard, elk congregate during the rut bugling at all hours and a mountain lion is visible to the public while she feeds for a week, it all begs the question “who is intruding on whom”? 

This is the premise of artist Larry Moore's Intrusion series, a thought provoking and visually captivating series of oil paintings. As humans take up more space, many species can be found on the fringes or even coexisting within human landscapes. Depending on how you look at it, who between humans and wildlife has the “right” to be there? Coexistence is, to many, still a novel concept and Larry's oil paintings can lead the mind into a much deeper exploration of human relation and understanding of wild, or lack thereof.

Each painting has a story, often from the artist's life, but he leaves plenty of room for the viewer's own interpretation. Beyond the story of each piece is Larry's lifetime of learning, teaching and exploration as an artist of most mediums. While a conservation driven message is behind each piece, Larry's work still hooks your attention without the backstory adding depth and richness to any space.
