> DESCRIPTION

Terry Haggerty’s vibrant wall paintings conjure nostalgic associations from the mustard yellow and avocado décor of the 1960s and 1970s, to optical art, to the precise lines of sugar icing on pastries. He combines humorous and historical references to form abstract compositions that electrify and manipulate the space around them. Haggerty applies multiple coats of paint to create sleek surfaces and utilizes simple lines which, when viewed together, create masterful geometries that seem to blend and curve each wall.
