Teri Hendrich C: Venus in the 12th

Gallery 839 is pleased to announce Venus in the 12th, an exhibition of new work from Los Angeles based painter Teri Hendrich C.

Reunion by Teri Hendrich C.

Drawing inspiration from astrology, the Pre-Raphaelites and her own birth chart, Hendrich vividly depicts a transformative narrative of her natal Venus, personified in human form, within the house of the unknown. In several of the works, monochromatic renderings of figures within imagined environments are juxtaposed with vibrant, abstract swooshes of color that travel from one scene onto the next. The exhibition consists of a dozen paintings, ten of which were initiated at an auspicious time under an astrological election. Per the artist, “Astrology is an ancient, symbol based language, and if you know how to speak it, you can create powerful stories with it. With this collection, I wanted to be in conversation not just with other artworks throughout history, but also with archetypal stories dating back to ancient Mesopotamia, that can be found within our skies.” 

Teri Hendrich C. is a graduate cum laude of ArtCenter College of Design and has honed her artistry and storytelling for the last 16 years by working as a background painter and color supervisor in animation. Venus in the 12th is the artist’s second solo show and her first time exhibiting at Gallery 839.

The gallery is located within The Animation Guild at 1105 N. Hollywood Way, Burbank, California 91505.

Exhibition dates 1st Feb to 1st March 2024

Gallery hours are Monday thru Friday from 9am to 5pm with the artist reception scheduled for February 1, from 5pm to 8pm. Opening night will include a poetry reading followed by a book signing at 6pm.
