“Hedone: Terri Thomas” Feb 12 – March 12, 2010categorized under Press Release
Lyons Wier Gallery is pleased to present Hedone, an exhibition of recent work by Austin, Texas artist Terri Thomas. An investigation of the taboo, Thomas’ manipulated self-portraits and Swarovski crystal encrusted object-trophies explore the motivations and contradictions of physical and material desire. Playful, precisely rendered, laden with sexual implications and symbolism, the work in Hedone combines frivolity, fantasy, escapism and pleasure with paradox, self-analysis, media-influence and artifice.

“Fete Bucolique” Review by Joseph Bravocategorized under Interview
It’s erotic, it’s art and it’s damn fine painting Terri Thomas’ work is certainly eye-catching — color saturated, precisely rendered and often shocking. All these elements make for good work, but there is something else — something more — that makes Thomas’ work so fascinating. In paintings and photographs the same face appears again and again. Eventually the realization comes — the woman portrayed is not a mere artist’s muse, it is the artist herself. It is her body in the positions of porn, painted in a contortion of glowing candy colors, her face that has been manipulated into resemblances of Barbie, celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, or, in her latest work, Cicciolina (the porn star ex-wife of artist Jeff Koons). It is Thomas, costumed and staged, revealed, concealed, exposed, and juxtaposed. She is at once the muse and the voyeur, subject and object.

“U-Genics” Interview with Terri Thomas by Joe Martin Hillcategorized under Interview
An Interview with Terri Thomas JMH: Your exhibition is conceived on multiple levels. The individual works stand alone, but there are permutations in series. And then there is an overall installation strategy of different positions relating to similar themes. In that sense, the exhibition itself might be viewed as an installation work. It’s a lot to take in! What clues can you give for finding meaning in the whole? And is this important?

“U-Genics: Terri Thomas” by Yazmine Fazelina and Bijal Mehtacategorized under Review
Terri Thomas’ “U-Genics” the unconventional (online exclusive) Here we be in Austin, and here there be art. A two-perspective review on a new exhibition that shows women from, well… different perspectives. Just looking aroud Austin, it is obvious that it is a city filled with much creativity, encompassing the many different perspectives and unique people who live here. On every street is the opportunity to witness this wealth of talent, especially through art. Austin is filled with galleries, art museums, craft vendors, and street art. This can be a little overwhelming to the student who is a novice to this art scene, so we have decided to offer an introduction to Austin art. Follow two staff writers as they enter the Austin art scene and share their experiences in the hope of helping other art amateurs become more knowledgeable.

“U-Genics: Terri Thomas review by Michael Garciacategorized under News/Events Review
In the Works: An Art Blog U-GENICS This was my first visit to Volitant Gallery and as I approached the space, and noticed the red velvet ropes and “Hollywood Premier” look of the exterior, I do have to admit I was a bit horrified. I didn’t know what to expect, but a big over the top fru-fru to-do is not my cup of tea. I have to admit, having lived in Dallas for three years and having experienced more than my fair share of hollow superficial materialism, I have a bit of a bias against such things. The first thing I thought was, oh great, a pretentious new art space, full of stereotypical “Dallas” people.
