Artwork location: United States

In most of the paintings, the artist uses an interior space as his subject, placing a table or similar object at its center. The use of symmetry and eye level often suggests an altar-like presence on the table, an interpretation undoubtedly reinforced by the tablecloth that frequently covers it. This frames and illuminates the subject in a way that interprets it as a secular altar where an ambiguous ritual takes place. The resulting images are often both serene and meditative, but they can also be filled with anticipation. This tension is sustained by a rhythm that evokes the rhythm of memory and dreams.

Christopher Terry's paintings explore the tension between the everyday and the mystical. His subjects are primarily inspired by objects and artifacts that lack a strong ego and avoid connections to popular culture. He frames and illuminates this subject in a way that interprets still life as a secular altar where an ambiguous ritual takes place. The paintings resulting from this exploration are often both serene and meditative, yet also charged with anticipation. This tension is sustained by a rhythm that evokes the rhythm of memory and dreams. Paradoxically, for an artist like Terry, often considered a "realist," this rhythm arises more from invention and memory than from direct observation.
