Living in Berlin, Terry Haggerty (* 1970 in London) creates large-format paintings, drawings and wall paintings that expand the vocabulary of abstraction: he combines the reducing, serial principles of Minimal Art with the effects and experimental approaches of Op Art. In its reduction to mostly monochrome color and a radical simplification of the form, its patterns of regular stripes and lines on a flat surface unfold the illusion of spatial-geometric objects. The technical perfection in the execution reinforces the impression of the three-dimensional and gives the impression that the work is mechanically produced. Transcend presents the artist’s oeuvre from the late 1990s to the present and represents his ingenious synthesis between the pursuit of abstract art for the essential and the sober play of perception and eye illusion in optical art.
