Terence Carr

Terence Carr is a German painter and sculptor originally from Kenya.

Terence Carr, whose family emigrated to Africa from Ireland, was born in Nairobi, Kenya, where he spent the first 19 years of his life. In 1971, he traveled to England, where he became an officer in the British Army and then served in Germany. After gaining life experience, Carr enrolled at Augsburg University to study art education.

There is always an African influence in Carr's wooden sculptures, his peculiar language of forms. The artist hardly makes any sketches and immediately works directly on the wood with a chainsaw. Terence Carr uses constantly recurring symbols that reflect opposites - good and evil, love and hate, war and peace, pain, fear, suffering, tolerance and humanity. Animals with human features and people who look animal-like. Overall, it touches on the root issues of being human.

Over time, Terence Carr has become one of the most famous artists in the world. His works can be seen at exhibitions in different parts of the world and are represented in many significant collections.
