ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Like all mural commissions this one started with conversations with the assistant to the General Consul of the Republic of Indonesia in Houston about what they wanted to communicate to visitors as their first impression about the nation as they entered the consulate property. With Octo Hakim's collaboration we designed a collage of imagery that speaks to the long time alliance and connection of Indonesia with the United States and especially Houston. We decided to focus on the architecture unique to both areas and the culture represented by the dancer and the space walking astronaut. The mural is designed to evoke a sense of exotic curiosity about the country with traditions and culture that dates back thousands of years with ornate temples amid a tropical paradise of a thousand south Sea islands including the legendary Bali. The song from Rogers and Hammerstein's South Pacific framed the mood the mural seeks to evoke in visitors first impression of the Republic of Indonesia. That was contrasted with Houston's high tech modern and futuristic trajectory represented by the sky kissing architecture of the city and the astronaut. Acrylic was painted directly on the preexisting concrete wall about 7'x20' wide.

The extensive breadth and excellence of the work of multitalented, multidegreed, modern Renaissance man, Dan Terry of Austin, Tx is almost unfathomable. Known for his work in film, television production, the fine arts of painting, digital 3D, interactive murals and animation, music performance, guitar design and restoration; set, film, product and graphic design, writing (author of four books on human sexual chemistry on Amazon and several screenplays), and teaching. His work has won national and regional awards and acclaim in Computer Animation (Siggraph Aurora Animation1985), Fine art painting (many in juried and museum exhibitions including full election to the Pasterl Society of America), Teaching (National Student Advertising Competition faculty advisor 1990, and others), acting and graphic design. Though one of the pioneers in CGI 3D modeling and rendering, in recent times he's returned to traditional media with a modern twist in the recent unveiling of two murals in the heart of Austin's music entertainment district, one in which static painted images appear to animate as programmable LED lighting changes hue. His work is in the permanent collections of the Witte Museum and the historic Alamo in San Antonio.
