AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
John Thery
Spin Painting
This is an important art book and biographical catalog of 192 pages dedicated to the works of French artist John Thery. The volume was published by Galerie Artmany in Biarritz, the reference exhibition space where the painter has resided and worked steadily since 1993.
Who is the artist John Thery?
Born in Paris in 1955, Thery is a self-taught painter who began his artistic career in the seventies, initially focusing on figurative style. His true vocation, however, emerged with an approach to abstract art, struck by the potential of centrifugal force and the spontaneous effects of color in motion.
The style and influences
John Thery’s work falls within the realm of geometric and kinetic abstraction, guided by mainstays of modern art history: Jackson Pollock, from whom he inherits the philosophy of Action Painting and the gestural and emotional projection of color onto the canvas; Jean Tinguely and Yves Klein, sculptor and painter who inspired him to experiment with speed, movement and chromatic purity.
The Spin Painting technique
The core of his production is the Spin Painting technique, a mixed method in which paint is applied, projected or molded by hand and with sponges on a surface that is spun at high speed. This process creates unique and dynamic chromatic explosions. Each canvas produced by Thery constitutes a numbered and absolutely unrepeatable variation. Over the years the artist has also explored three-dimensional solutions (to be viewed with special 3D glasses) to imprint universal words such as Life, Hope and Love directly in the geometric heart of his color vortices.
The catalog published by Galerie Artmany documents this fruitful artistic transition, collecting a vast selection of color reproductions and details about the painter’s life.
Condition
The volume presents itself in overall excellent condition. Cover without defects. Firm binding. Internal pages with a few small stains at the end, no creases. An excellent collectible copy.
COMBINED SHIPPING available for multiple purchases.
