About the Show
An abstract contemporary artist inspired by the urban environment, Meyers’ imagery explores the intersections of photographic realism and abstract expressionism. These divergent worlds intertwine through the reorganization of space, the interactions of color, and a convergence of reality and imagination. He rattles the bones of reality.
He has always been driven by form and design as if each piece created were a puzzle to be put together differently each and every time. Today’s technology allows him deconstruct a single image into myriad possibilities.
Modern digital tools can be used in an ordered or random fashion, wherever his mind’s eye might go, walking the pallet knife’s edge between photography and painting.
“I want to wake and see the world each day with fresh eyes.” Throughout his career as an artist his guiding premise - from Minor White - has always been, “Photograph something not for what it is but for what it can become.”
