Exhibition catalogue, interview with the artist by Sean O'Toole.

Meyer's milieus are indeed populated by urban warriors: captains of industry and their colleagues, competitors or consorts. His imagery evokes interplay between two highly-charged environments, namely boardrooms and bedrooms. O'Toole also locates analogies between Meyer's imagery and that of crime writer Raymond Chandler, whose finely wrought prose significantly influenced American film noir.

This exhibition represents a continuum of Meyer´s fascination with private and public moments, as well as the influence of the cinema, on his imagery. In these works dramatic, tension-filled, sometimes erotically-charged storylines unfold on canvas, evoking an intrigue that is both visually seductive and psychologically unsettling.

He is the ultimate 'urban man' endlessly, indeed almost compulsively fascinated with the social interactions that weave a magnetic field of both attraction and repulsion.
