stylistics

The main focus in Meyer's painting is the landscape and the human being. With expressive gestures, intense colors and pastose application of paint, an extensive artistic work has been created over the last 15 years. Meyer's particular preference is for the atmosphere, the different, changing light conditions and the structures created by weathering and sintering processes. Harry Meyer himself came up with a concise definition for his painting: "Energy". “I paint nature!” Says Harry Meyer “And when I paint nature, then I also paint laws of nature, relationships that prevail, certain conditions that have developed from them, which designate both physical and spiritual space, space in which I am, in which we are.
