Justin Terry is an abstract artist who finds the visual rhythmic language of color, patterns, and texture, as release from the perceptions and realities of everyday life. For Terry, abstraction is an organically evolving and intimate process. Each piece begins as a search to find unpredictable happenings of color and marks, and then orchestrate them into visceral fields wherein the eye may roam. He draws a poetic correlation between the friction of the mark and the movement of our days. “Time is a combination of perception and friction. We’re our perception, in a moment, traveling through time, encountering friction. Our days are valuable, our time is valuable. I’ve been naming these abstracts after the days on which they are finished, rendering them largely anonymous.” This way of titling the work is intentionally subtle and unobtrusive to keep the work open and allow the viewer to bring to it what they will. Terry’s pictures coax an individual to get lost within the patterns, blends, and systems of color he weaves into composition. The surfaces are lyrically meditative, allowing an individual to let go and explore their own personal authenticity and meaning. “I find the same type of pleasure through the act of looking, as I do when I listen to music that I love. What I want to do with these abstracts, is to give someone that sense of enjoyment, akin to listening to a song or musical composition, through seeing.”
