TERRY BLACK

"Terry Black's earlier paintings are songs, the current paintings are symphonies.”

Conductor: Wayne Jeffrey

The Indigo Cadre

Collection

Early risers know that first light, it’s a private time. They’re not there for the light; they own the day.
They’re THE INDIGO CADRE.

Available Paintings

Don’t buy a painting unless it feels right.

Being directly in front of a large painting is an experience… seeing it on a small screen isn’t.
You can see either of these paintings in a Private Viewing.

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’s what a TV news anchor wrote after their Private Screening of work-in-progress scenes from the feature film.

“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

PAINTINGS:
To be right in front of a large painting,
then touch it, can be a quite a feeling.
Curious?
My paintings have always been
acquired directly in Private Viewings,
rather than through galleries.

Every painting of mine has sold.
My pricing patterns were established
from the beginning, four decades ago,
by a Governor of Toronto Stock
Exchange and a Bay Street investor,
both art collectors.

“Violent” was the first word that came
to mind for a film studio department
head upon seeing new paintings from
THE INDIGO CADRE collection

Early risers know that first light,
it’s a private time. They’re not there
for the light; they own the day.
They’re THE INDIGO CADRE.

Collections on four continents own
my work. 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.

FILM:
I am making a feature film that is now in post production. This film and these paintings are two parts of
THE BEGGARS BANQUET PROJECT.

One viewer said “There is a reverence in Terry’s film that is extremely raw.”
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”.
