Constructions 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 a myriad of possibilities. Modern digital tools can be used in an ordered or random fashion, wherever his minds eye might go, walking the pallet knifes edge between photography and painting 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”.
