Terrence Woodhouse

The intensity of colour throughout Terrence's work creates vibrant atmospheric tensions of modernity. Culture, heritage and a lively sense of exploration are the key influences in this story of modernity. This cultural inspiration draws upon the mix of traditions with both medium and connection to place. The connection to place is significant in relation to sense of belonging with family ties and immersive reintroduction to Chinese culture. The saturation of oils create immersive compositions that evoke the chaos of the Shanghai nightlife. In this dynamic exchange the perception of space and culture are challenged with the luminosity of the visual storytelling through the commentary on modernity. This resurrection of modernity speaks to the modern approach of capitalist and market globalisation that has transformed the Chinese urban life as well as its identity. This unification of communist and agrarian roots with western market reform as shifted the progressional tides of global superiority has changed and we look to our past to guide us into the unknown of future development.
