Available Paintings
A painting has to feel right.
Being in front of a large painting in person is a memorable experience… seeing it on a small screen isn’t.
You can see either of these paintings in a Private Viewing.
Let’s talk.

Film
“This is film as art. Terry Black is creating a whole new genre.”
Former Chair of the Toronto International Film Festival: Allen Karp
A terry black Film
Here is what two viewers wrote after their PRIVATE VIEWING of a few work-in-progress scenes from Black’s feature film in post production.
“There is a reverence in Terry’s film that is extremely raw.”
“I feel like a different person. I can’t really seem to express what it is I feel except that I know there’s a change. It took me a few days to put it into words – the emotion is so overwhelming. It’s like I haven’t really seen everything around me until today, and I’m saddened by the loss of all the years I’ve wasted, and yet relieved I realized what I’ve been missing all these years just in the nick of time. You know this is monumental.”

About & Contact
PAINTING:
Every painting of Black’s has sold.
His pricing patterns were established from the beginning, four decades ago, by a Governor of the Toronto Stock Exchange and a Bay Street investor, both art collectors.
Collections on four continents own Black’s paintings. As a result, paintings are rarely available for shows:
The book Fiery Vision Bright was produced along side a 1995 retrospective show at the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver.
Upon seeing a few paintings, “violent” was the first word that came to mind for a film studio department head.
Delivery and installation of a painting
can be taken care of so that time
after time looking at it will feel right.
Black’s work has always been purchased directly in Private Viewings, rather than galleries. Paintings can also be purchased directly through this site.
FILM:
Black is making a feature film that is now in post production. This film and these paintings are two parts of
THE BEGGARS BANQUET PROJECT.
The former Chairman of the Toronto International Film Festival, Allen Karp, saw some work-in-progress scenes and said, “This is not an art film, this is film as art. Terry Black is creating a whole new genre.”
One other viewer said, “After the film I felt such a stillness and calm
that I didn’t want to speak or move”.
