Lars Bohman Gallery is proud to present the gallery´s third solo exhibition with American artist Robert Terry.
Robert Terry is perhaps most associated with his expressive landscape depictions, although we can find both metropolitan surroundings and explorative portraits of the former American president Abraham Lincoln amongs his earlier motifs.
With distinct connections to the Romanticism and its embracement of the timeless beauty of nature, Robert Terry´s landscapes are a reminder of the continuous transformation of nature, it’s mortality and constant resurrection.
Robert Terry´s technique, a combination of realism and expressionism, gives the paintings an additional, almost physical dimension. On close range his impasto paintings appear to be completely abstract, but once one step further away from the paintings, a colorful landscape depiction is revealed.
In the current exhibition, Terry elaborates on his well known motifs with the American nature in focus, as well as discovers and explores new milieus. The consistent work on catching the play of the light and the spirit of nature in the rich deciduous setting is set against its total contrast, a barren and torrid landscape. In a suite of paintings, Terry portrays the dramatic landscape of Hawaii, a setting marked by vulcanism and evolutionary processes. Hawaii is the newest of the 50 American states, wich brings the thoughts to Terry´s earlier motifs. Motifs that often have a connection to the traditional American self-image.
Robert Terry was born in 1955 in Broken Bow, Nebraska, USA. He lives and works in New York. Terry has had numerous exhibitions worldwide, including the Tibor de Nagy Gallery in New York and Eugene Binder Gallery in Marfa, Texas. Robert Terry has received the National Endowment for the Arts grant.
