For nearly fifty years, the American painter and printmaker Terry Winters (1949- ) has been contributing to and advancing Modernist traditions through his complex and beautiful paintings, prints, and drawings. Winters opened his first solo show at Sonnabend Gallery in 1982, and the survey of his work at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1992 brought his work to the forefront of the art world. Since then, he has enjoyed significant critical attention, exhibiting his works in retrospectives around the world.
For his third exhibition at Peder Lund, Winters continues to engage and rejoice in the act of painting, examining a wide range of technical references, including advanced mathematical principles, musical notation, botany, and chemistry. In the artist’s own words, “I’m taking preexisting imagery and respecifying it through the painting process. Information is torqued with the objective of opening a fictive space or lyrical dimension.”
