Who is Dick Termes?
Dick Termes is an internationally acclaimed artist. His work has been recognized from San Francisco to Paris, France,
from New York to Japan. Unlike any other painter; he paints on spheres which, when completed, are known as Termespheres.
Each sphere is a revolving three-dimensional space/time exploration of an entirely closed universe.
Visit the Gallery to experience Termespheres for yourself.
What is a Termesphere?
What you are seeing when you look at a Termesphere painting is an optical illusion. An inside-out view of the total physical world around you on the outside surface of a hanging and rotating sphere. If you were on the inside of this sphere, this painted image around you would seem normal, but it is read from the outside. From any point when you look at the spherical paintings, the image reads correctly. Termespheres capture the up, down and all around visual world from one revolving point in space. Most of the time these spheres are painted on the outside so it takes a six point perspective system to keep all of this environment around you organized.Dick Termes has been painting spherical paintings since 1968 when he received his Masters Degree in Art from the University of Wyoming. He continued his pursuit with his thesis on the Termesphere at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles where he received his Masters in Fine Arts.
