Background

On this episode of The Truth In This Art, I welcome back artist, Terry Thompson. Terry is a self-taught American artist, born in Chicago, Illinois, and currently working in Baltimore, Maryland. We discuss his artistic evolution, his balancing of his art with his DJ work, and the importance of experimentation in his creative process. Terry shares how his experiences from Chicago to Baltimore and his travels have influenced his vibrant artwork, which is inspired by dance culture, dreamscapes, and experimental vistas. He also highlights his approach to managing his time between creating visual art and DJing, and his philosophy on embracing mistakes as part of the artistic journey.

If you’re interested in an artist’s evolution, the intersection of art and music, or the value of experimentation, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear Terry’s insights and artistic journey.

Don’t miss “A Deep House of Soulful Vision: The Paintings of Terry Thompson” at the Baltimore Museum of Art on April 10th! Hear Terry Thompson in conversation with Franklin Sirmans, director of the Perez Art Museum.
