Speaking to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, Moir said: “It is a fantastic, beautiful building.
“There is great artwork in here, so I’m honoured to be in here next to it all.
“It’s great to have your work shown in a building like this and not a high street gallery.”
He added: “I did Bebington’s Lady Leaver gallery last year which is grand, and this is probably a bit grander than that – I’m working up in grandness until I end up in the grandest gallery in the world!”
Councillor Sarah Ferriby, the council’s executive member for healthy people and places, said it was “fantastic” to welcome Moir to the venue.
“Following the success of the Bradford district’s year as UK City of Culture and hosting the Turner Prize in 2025, we are continuing to bring ambitious and engaging exhibitions to the gallery,” she said.
“Neo Fauna celebrates close observation of nature and wildlife, which feels especially fitting here in Lister Park.”
