Exhibition Review: Joshua Meyer – Jewish Boston

Joshua Meyer was featured in Jewish Boston – “Joshua Meyer’s Paintings Reflect His Jewish Identity.” The article captures the many facets of the artist’s process and aesthetic. When asked about the evolution of his layered figurative style, Meyers reflects:

“The layers do a couple of things. They help with the hide-and-seek game these models play. But the layers also show the process. You see how we get to something one step at a time. And then something gets covered up, and then it gets recovered. I’m not trying to hide the process; I want it to be on the surface. Being able to see the thickness and the depth and the texture gives people a sense of not just what I’m painting, but also how I’m painting and how it’s coming into being. I want to implicate the viewer in the process. I want you to see what it feels like to be an artist, a painter, and to be in the studio with me making decisions in real time.”
