Bernard C. Meyers

Urban Abstracts

In the artist’s words:

Bernard Meyers is that rarest of artists with the heart of poet and the mind of a scientist. He began developing film at age 12. At Rochester Institute of technology he studied not only fine art photography but traditional lithography and etching. His graduate thesis explored the roots of creative expression and paths to the moments of inspiration. As an abstract contemporary artist he is inspired by the urban environment. His imagery uniquely explores the intersections of photographic realism and abstract expressionism. At these crossroads his subjects include architectural form and harmonic color fields combined with the unique photographic magic of the decisive moment.

At the heart of his current Urban Abstract project he continues to experiment and push beyond the boundaries of software and convention. His abstract sensibilities and desire for exploration and visual surprise is evident within all of his imagery. His artwork is held in museum, public, private and corporate collections nationwide. “My hope is to make the abstract tangible using modern tools and urban elements transformed into a new language of transcendent contemporary expression.”
