Moving away from the traditional two-dimensionality of
painting, Terranova transforms the medium into a new kind of painted surface. This process
(detail)
can involve a gouging of the canvas, and then an assuaging of it with hand-stitch- ing, or applying plaster to burlap fabrics: “Light, shadows and an in nity of scintil- lations emerge to become the subject matter of the new relief-like works. The works evoke then an incredible sense of light, space, movement and time. My key elements in art are plaster, metallic-plated paints and thread.”
