Terry Archer has been producing art for over 50 years. Born in the UK, he has lived in Sydney for the last 20 years. Raised on a diet of punk, politics and badly photocopied flyers handed out in dark warehouses, his art has a thought-provoking symbolic, political and sometimes humourous tint.
Over the years, his work has found its way onto canvas, warehouse walls, European pavements, flyers, computer monitors, theatre backdrops, in magazines and on any scrap of paper that’s handy.
