What is 6 Point Perspective?

The basic rules of traditionally defined perspective were formulated in the fifteenth century in Italy by Piero della Francesca, Leon Battista Alberti and others. In the fifteenth century view, if the horizon around you was imagined as 360 degrees, two point perspective drawings and paintings held 90 degrees of the visual world. In other words, their paintings could capture everything between the North point on the horizon to the East point. Termes has expanded this discovery of perspective in order to capture more and more of the visual world. With six point perspective, drawings and paintings reveal a total view encompassing the full 360 degrees in all directions.

What people are saying about the Termesphere® Gallery

Just incredible! We have loved Dick Termes' work for decades. Especially love that there are so many affordable items available, making it possible for everyone to own a piece of art from Termesphere Gallery. We also picked up Lang's fabulous new CD and visited with Markie about her puppets. We are fans of this talented family!

5 star ratingVisited the Termesphere Gallery today and it was by far one of the coolest places I have ever been! Anika was SO knowledgeable on the spheres and was such a kind person who went above & beyond to inform my husband and I about everything. Dick is such a talented artist and if you are in the area you have to stop by to see his work!

Not only is the art incredible, but Mr Termes was so gracious. I took a group of students to the gallery & he was very patient with them & answered any & all questions they threw at him. He even took them to his private studio to show them the process for creating his beautiful spheres. I highly recommend visiting the gallery!!
