Mariposa by Terry Hoff

About

Northern California artist Terry Hoff introduces “Mariposa” at James Wright Gallery in Los Angeles on September 21, 2019, from 7 PM to 9 PM. Terry lovingly named his exposition after his boyhood street.

“Mariposa” features inflated, bulbous, rounded forms that play off the narrative of overstimulation. Terri’s self-realization, “I am a child of the American west and a maker of images grounded in the counter culture of the western experience.” As each composition reveals itself through stacked layers of color, texture, and rhythm, humanistic forms are revealed. Peering eyes and facial attributes work their back through the layers of applied pigment in an almost recognizable humanoid form.

“Sometimes the eyes of shadows peek out, but mostly when the work settles its more about celebrating the visual human experience. surfaces, images and shapes are used to bridge between high and low art, with a large dose of latent psychedelia.”

Mariposa by Terry Hoff opens at James Wright Gallery in Los Angeles on September 21. A collector preview begins at 6 PM and doors open to the public at 7 PM thru 9 PM. Thank you to Terry Hoff for the opportunity to share his story with all of you. This is an exhibition not to be missed.
