The Newcastle gallery is hosting a ‘capsule collection’ of Moir’s work from July 31 to August 11.
Taken while performing on tour as alter-ego Vic Reeves, the collection titled ‘Bridges of Newcastle’, the exhibition features polaroid photos of bridges over the River Tyne, taken in the early 1990s.
Colourful watercolour interpretations accompany each polaroid, reportedly painted with ‘water from the Tyne’.
It is the fourth time Moir, half of TV comedy duo Reeves and Mortimer, will have work displayed at the Biscuit Factory.

Last year the gallery showcased his extensive ‘Hot Buttered Mattress’ exhibition, which unveiled new pieces alongside archive sketches, all reflecting his artistic journey.
Rachel Brown, general manager of The Biscuit Factory said: “It’s been a joy to work with Jim over recent years to bring such a variety of work to the gallery, and although it’s a small collection, this time is no exception.
“We look forward to welcoming people to The Biscuit Factory to see the display in the coming weeks.”
Moir was born in Leeds, but moved to Darlington at the age of five. His partnership with Teessider Bob Mortimer began on television in 1989 and the pair were named one of the top 50 comedy duos in the UK in 2003.
