Executed with brushes and palette knife, the artist focuses in on close crops of the human face, culled from magazines, film, and television.
Meyer’s mark-making mimics the horizontal blurs found in television stills and the pixelated swathes seen in enlarged JPEGs. Born in 1964 in Porto Alegre, Brazil, Meyer studied at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künst in Karlsruhe, Germany where he currently lives and works.
