Moich Abrahams |
Moich enjoys combining spontaneity and playfulness and reinventing child-like expressiveness. Central to this process is the art of ‘letting go’.
Moich Abrahams was born in Hitchin, growing up in nearby Letchworth Garden City. He read Maths at King’s College London, then taught maths and drawing to children with special needs before training at Byam Shaw School of Art, now St Martins (1970-74), afterwards continuing to teach before studying for an MA at Goldsmiths.(1980-82). In 2013 Moich was a prize winner at the Rootstein Hopkins Drawing Exhibition at the Morley Gallery. In 2016 Moich was 3 times an ArtSlant prize showcase winner. His work has been selected for many shows, eg the Institute of Contemporary Art, the Whitechapel Gallery, the Discerning Eye at the Mall Galleries, Mauger Modern Art in Bath and The British Drawing Show at the Hayward Gallery. Moich has shown many times with the London Group since 1975 and was elected member in 1977. As well as continuing to exhibit with the London Group, he has regularly shown with Espacio Gallery and Nolia’s Gallery, in London. Moich lives in Battersea and has his studio in Streatham Hill.
