New Paintings by Jeff Myers at John Natsoulas Gallery August 27-September 27
The John Natsoulas Gallery is proud to present this exhibition of new paintings by Sacramento-based painter Jeff Myers. Through his inventive figurative works, Myers explores vivid tonalities and plays with ideas of modernity. Employing anachronisms and surrealist compositions, Myers reveals his interest in the unexpected.
(firmenpresse) - In this new exhibition titled Convergence, Myers addresses his diverse interests through juxtapositions in his distinctive, colorful style. His primary themes center on both natural and human-made environments, and how individuals relate to those settings. As a quintessential contemporary painter, Myers introduces nature as an integral part of each painting, depicting elements within the borders and confines of different figures, forms of technology, and everyday objects. Myers was raised in a photojournalistic environment; both his parents are photographers and, with the guidance of Ansel Adams in their early stages of photographing, they amassed a visual archive of 700,000 transparencies of the west and its people. Myers himself has been published by National Geographic, National Wildlife, Animals Magazine of London, and many other publications. His depictions of various models of cameras within this exhibition reflect his extensive experience behind the lens. His depictions of numerous types of cameras is a clear indication of his deep knowledge too.
Myers’ struggles with dyslexia and the public education system in his youth pushed him to enroll in college art courses, including with Wayne Thiebaud. The distinct color palette of his teacher is still discernible in Myers' works today. Myers first began exhibiting at the age of 15 and debuted with a one person show at only 19. Myers's early paintings, influenced by Italian Futurism and the Mexican Muralists, deal with marginalized American sub-cultures juxtaposed with class differences. Today, his authenticity is both provocative and pioneering, and his multidisciplinary practice interlaces new and old media. Myers's paintings, photographs, works on paper, and collages have been published and shown extensively nationally and locally. This exhibition represents the elegant fusion of diverse styles and themes that have been present throughout his impressive career.
Please visit to celebrate this new exhibition's opening reception on September 6 from 7-9PM. It will feature live music and free refreshments.
