The main point of interest and inspiration for Adrian Meyer’s body of work is paint — paint, color and the sensations that stem from light. On a broader scale, Meyer concerns himself with the question of the painter’s position in regards to his medium. Furthermore, Meyer’s works investigate the question of what kind of effect the act of painting and the processing of color can have on the viewer.
On a technical level, Meyer is, in a way, part of the artistic tradition of pointillism. Because, above all, distance and light reveal the inherent dynamics and hidden physicality of Meyer’s paintings. Moreover, Adrian Meyer’s oeuvre is characterized by a medium-reflective note in which the creation process of the acrylic paintings can be detected.
