Donald Moffett (born January 20, 1955) is an American painter. ==Life and work== Moffett was born in San Antonio, Texas, where he studied art and biology at Trinity University, earning a BA.〔(“Donald Moffett: On Our New York Watchlist,” ) ''ArtSlant''. Retrieved Dec. 14, 2012.〕 He lives and works in New York City.〔 As a painter, Moffett extends the traditional two-dimensional frame through non-traditional techniques such as prying open the canvas to paint the backside, perforating or suturing the painting’s surface, or loading it with paint forced into extreme textures. At other times, he transposes paintings into screens by incorporating video projections onto the canvas.〔Smith, Roberta (June 29, 2012).

New York: Distributed Art Publishers (2005).〕 Moffett is recognized for his keen artistic critique of the world at large. His influence by classical painters such as Goya and Manet is manifest in his blending of the subtle with the outlandish and structural experimentation with social critique. While his artwork provides contemporary views on important topics of our modern-day lives, it is also a meditation on the timeless and universal issues of love, loss, alienation, and death.〔Wasserman, Nadine (Aug. 8, 2012).
