Known for his near photo realistic paintings, Mario Moore tells a story of truth with every brushstroke. His works are a reflection of his community which he uses to comment on the burning social questions of our time. From global warming and the dismantling of democracy to Black love and the centering of Black bodies, hopes and dreams, his paintings chronicle the extraordinary lives of everyday people.

I am thrilled to share with you my new project under the Revolutionary Daydreams banner! Art Beyond Borders with Nicholas Roman Lewis is a video series and podcast where I profile artists in their studios and take a deep dive into their work and practice. If you know me, you know I love championing artists so I'm thankful to have the opportunity to shine the light on amazing creatives. In this first episode I interview Mario Moore in his Detroit studio and learn the stories behind some of his latest paintings and works in progress.
I could not have begun this project without the generous support of the Satterberg Foundation: Reparative Action Fund.
