Grid Aesthetic: Spatial Awareness, Abstract Painting

2021

Artist Comments
Part of artist Terri Bell's grid series, this piece incorporates geometric shapes into organic arrangements. The painting's complex color palette and grid unify the composition into a coordinated framework. "After creating the initial grid, I intuitively built on each segment until a unified composition was made. The composition is both ordered and random as a result of the layering of color and texture," Terri explains.

About the Artist
Artist Terri Bell constructs highly detailed geometric fields that dance to life with engaging colors and soft edges. As a young child, Terri always wanted to paint, draw, or play imaginative games. She entered college as an art major and received important mentorship from several teachers. Unfortunately, it was at this point that Terri’s art career was put on hold. "I had to make a couple of detours along the way, and ended up changing my major to political science," she says, "which led me to work in a high stress, high profile state government position." Terri’s creative pursuits were more limited but ever-present. "Art was the balance in my life and I never gave up my dream." Through hard work and determination, she has returned to her calling as a full-time career artist. When she’s not painting, Terri enjoys cooking, container gardening, and spending time with her husband and two Yorkies.
