Dick Termes can make claims few in history ABS TRact can; in one lifetime Termes has created a form of artwork the world has never seen before.

Through a self-devised geometric system known as Six-Point Perspective, Termes is capable of transferring complete scenes onto his spherical canvases. With little more than the help of his geometric system and his own creativity, Termes can literally capture worlds.

Termespheres, as his works have come and lectures engaging audiences on how to be known, can be seen in galleries and the arts and sciences intertwine into our museums around the world.

The Hands On Learning Center will utilize interactive Displays to create fun and educational areas the whole family can enjoy. Filled with geometric sculptures, drawing stations, educational videos, and puzzles, this portion of the complex will serve as a major draw to families looking for unique activities that will intrigue everyone. The main focus of this dome will be a place for people (especially kids) to learn by doing. All of the puzzles and games will serve educational purposes, yet still be enjoyable for adults and children alike!

All of these elements will contribute to a welcoming and inviting environment for the guests to enjoy time and time again.

When completed, The Termesphere Gallery and Interactive Center will be one of the major attractions in the Black Hills. It will serve as a year-round draw for the city of Spearfish that will captivate people far and wide.

12 Termesphere Gallery and Interactive Center THE MAN

Internationally known, Dick Termes is THE recognized as one of South Dakota’s most MAN original and innovative visual artists.

Raised in Spearfish South Dakota, Termes received his undergraduate degree in Education and Art from Black Hills State University. From there he taught school in Klamath Falls, Oregon and Sheridan, Wyoming. After four years as an educator, Termes decided to continue his own education at the University of Wyoming where he received his Masters Degree in Art.

He then went on to Otis Art Institute a local carpenter and his mother was an in Los Angeles for his MFA in art design interior designer; together they built and on a full scholarship. Although there were sold over 35 homes in Spearfish. Dick’s many opportunities for brother, Joe Termes, was the principal him to establish himself of Spearfish High School for many years. as an artist in California, Spearfish was home, despite ample Termes chose to return to opportunities in other locations, Termes his roots in the Black Hills. chose to make his life here.

His grandparents Termes has traveled the world, both to homesteaded near find subject matter and to exhibit his Whitewood. His father was Termespheres. Every major gallery in the 13 THE MAN Termesphere Gallery and Interactive Center

state has showcased his talents on multiple occasions. One remarkable aspect of his work is its connection to fields of knowledge beyond art, especially mathematics, nature and science. This has led to acclaim from mathematicians, scientists, engineers, architects, and other fields not traditionally associated with fine art.

His background as a teacher has helped him connect with a wide audience. Termes gives workshops and lectures all over the world, featuring drawing concepts, his Six-Point Perspective system, and how to represent total visual space through art. In conjunction with the Discovery Center in Pierre, Termes has had the opportunity to develop a multi- faceted, interactive center for kids of all ages to explore the connections between art, geometry, and science.

Termes has led unique art and math seminars throughout the United States and Europe. His art is featured in dozens of books illustrating concepts in art, math, psychology, optical illusions, and even economics.

1414 Termesphere Gallery and Interactive Center THE MAN

Termes is also a significant South Dakota entrepreneur. In 1992, he opened the Termesphere Gallery; a year round attraction visited by thousands of admirers and art enthusiasts from around the globe.

Termes was honored to receive an invitation to display his work at the University of Rome alongside the work of one of his major inspirations: M.C. Escher. Reacting to Termes’ work, M.C. Escher’s son, George Escher said that Dick Termes is “A contemporary artist who matches my father’s quest in capturing the ‘un-capturable’ - visual dimensions that are fascinating to ponder.”

Recently, a Termesphere was featured on the cover of the French publication of A Brief History of Time, by Stephen Hawking.

In 2011 he was the keynote speaker for the California Art Teachers Association and also “Dick Termes is a contemporary artist who spoke at the National matches my father’s quest in capturing the Math Conference in “un-capturable”- visual dimensions that are Lexington, KY. fascinating to ponder.” ~ George Escher, M.C. Escher’s son

Imagine that you are standing inside a THE transparent ball, suspended 50 feet above ART the Grand Canyon floor...

You are higher than some canyon walls but lower than others. You have paints and a brush. You begin to paint what you see on the inside surface of the ball. First, you paint the north face, then the east, south, and west. Finally, you paint everything visible above and below.

Observing from outside the sphere, 360 degree circle. Using the Two-Point you can see that you have captured the Perspective system divides the circle entire three dimensional landscape.

A Termesphere. between the North point on the horizon to the East point. The basic rules of traditionally defined Termes has pushed these rules of perspective were formulated in the 15th perspective in order to capture more century by Italians Piero della Francesca, and more of the visual world.

These Point Perspective, drawings and paintings artists took on perspective by imagining reveal a total view, encompassing the full a line that represents the horizon as a 360 degrees; North, South, East, West, above and below. 17 THE ART Termesphere Gallery and Interactive Center

This completely unique, holistic way of seeing, painting, and thinking is the key to appreciating the work of Dick Termes. In the past 46 years, Termes has explored over 400 major spherical surfaces.

Termespheres hang in space and rotate on a central axis with the assistance of electric motors. In effect, they push Two-Point Perspective, (flat art) to Six-Point Perspective, three dimensional spherical worlds. Termespheres are not collages or collections of diverse images, or as some say “Six paintings in one”. Instead, they are complete visions of highly structured environments. Full viewer participation is only possible if one mentally enters the structure and becomes immersed within it.

One finds that the works from the “Inside” are sometimes not what they seemed from the “Outside”.

1818 Termesphere Gallery and Interactive Center THE ART

One of the most interesting parts of the Termesphere is the optical illusion created by the combination of perspective based art and motion. By rotating the sphere and focusing on the image as a whole, one will notice the convex surface of the sphere will appear to “flip” to concave and the rotational direction will appear to switch. This effect is as mesmerizing as it is fascinating. The illusion has become known as the Termes Illusion and has be recognized in many publications on optical illusions, including Al Seckel’s best-seller Masters of Deception.

So why does this happen? What causes the illusion? Who better to answer than the artist himself?

“Well, as with almost all ‘why’ questions, especially most people when the subject is very realistic. when it comes to perception, the real answer is In fact, the more realism in the painting, the ‘We don’t know for sure’. quicker it flips.

That said, we tend to see things in the context of It’s pretty amazing, at first you’re on the outside what’s familiar to us. This is especially true when of the ball looking in, with the ball surface we see two dimensional images. traveling left to right. Then, all of a sudden you’re inside the ball looking out, and the world The mind, not the eye, is what finally decides around you is spinning the exact opposite way! what it thinks it’s seeing. I’ve seen it thousands of times and I still can’t believe it!” And once a person’s mind starts believing -Dick Termes the illusion of three dimensional space, it will do so in the way that’s most familiar to it.

The sphere has to be revolving so the mind can put the ‘whole big picture’ together. Much like the way it puts a series of still pictures together when you watch a movie.

Once that happens, the picture is ready to ‘flip.’

I’ve noticed that the flip happens quicker for
