Silent Water

Catalogue to accompany the exhibition "Matthias Meyer: Silent Water," at Danese/Corey, New York from October 11 to November 9, 2019. While the natural world plays a profound role in Meyer's work, he achieves in its depiction a synthesis between the representational and the abstract. Both mysterious and revealing, the water's surface reflects its surroundings while simultaneously drawing the viewer's attention into the depths beneath. Organic forms converge to form a dynamic ecosystem, nature's cycle of life, death, and regeneration. Meyer's objective is to transform these elements, dissolving the imagery into layers of light and color.
