About Joshua Meyer
Artist Joshua Meyer is known for his thickly layered paintings of people, and for a searching, open-ended process. “Stunning,” proclaimed the San Francisco Chronicle, explaining that “Much like Meyer’s complex layers of paint, contradictory ideas and emotions accumulate on his canvases, and the resulting tension is connected to the process of struggling, searching, getting lost and re-emerging.”
According to the Boston Globe, “These aren’t so much portraits as they are depictions of intimacy.” Meyer has been recognized with a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, a CJP Arts and Culture Impact Award, The Betzalel Award, honoring leadership in arts and culture, The Sustainable Arts Foundation Award, and twice with the Massachusetts Cultural Council’s Painting Fellowship. The Cambridge, Massachusetts artist studied art at Yale University and The Bezalel Academy, and has exhibited internationally, including Eight Approaches at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Worcester Art Museum and the BYU Museum of Art, Tohu vaVohu at Hebrew College, and Becoming at the Yale and NYU and the retrospective Seek My Face at UCLA. Meyer is represented by Rice Polak Gallery in Provincetown and Dolby Chadwick Gallery in San Francisco. Read more>
