Quote John Meyer
“One could say I’m obsessed with the magical properties of paint, with the process that allows for and unlocks the magic. It all depends on where you direct your energy. It’s beyond me why any artist with talent would not want to pursue the mysterious world that lies within the possibilities of paint, the ultimate transformation of materials. Squeeze out a few lengths of pigment on a palette and transform them into the image of something.
‘We cannot be expected to be aware of the explorative process that is the private preserve of the creative mind, however it is precisely that inability to be party to the experimental nuances and resulting struggle in the painting process, that distances us from a complete understanding of the artist’s intent. How then are we to access this world of hidden complexities? If we accept that we see the world around us in various tones, shapes and patches of colour, rather than their defining contours, we realise that a single brushstroke can be anything it may suggest to us. The complex layering of painterly tones, placed in apparently random order creates the stage for a personal search. Here we indulge in our need to escape from an increasingly intrusive world”.
