Terry Golletz Statement
Artist Statement
After having decided on size, colours and composition, it becomes a game with decisions vs reaction, intellect vs emotions, control vs chance. The players in the production are the paint, the application and me. The eventual result is an unknown as the image will evolve with the interaction of the players. There is no model. There is only a history of images that have come before. I refer to the results as "Abstract Surrealism."
Circle Foundaion for the Arts (France)
(An independent critique)
“Golletz’s works are deeply complex and psychedelic. A look across his portfolio
shows not only dedication and a unique style but the artist seems to have created
a personal language, a vocabulary with which he makes up bizarre, abstract
narratives that tell surreal open-ended stories. Each painting is recognizably
Golletz, fluid, vibrant, bold and eccentric, yet each composition remains distinctive
and special.”
