Terry Winters

American, 1949

Terry Winters’ abstract paintings, drawings and prints derive from the legacy of mid-century modernism. From the exploration of botanically inspired forms early in his career to the influence of mathematical visualization and information technology of the 21st century, Winters’ work is intricate and meticulous.

Winters was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1949. He is an American painter, draughtsman and printmaker whose nuanced approach to the process of painting has addressed evolving concepts of spatiality. In Winters’ work, abstract processes give way to forms with real world agency that recall mathematical concepts and cybernetics, as well as natural and scientific worlds. He attended the Pratt Institute, where he received his B.F.A. in 1971. He has had solo exhibitions at the Tate and Whitechapel galleries in London; the Whitney Museum of American Art and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City; the Kunsthalle in Basel; the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; Staatliche Graphische Sammlung at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich; and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Winters lives and works in New York City and Columbia County, New York.
