Joshua Meyer (born 1974, Lubbock, Texas, United States)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Joshua Meyer - Dolby Chadwick Gallery )〕 is an American artist, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He earned his B.A. from Yale University and also studied at the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=U.S. Department of State - Art in Embassies )〕 He is known for his oil paintings of people, and for a searching process by which they emerge, trail off, wander, get lost, experiment and reemerge.〔''Tohu vaVohu: Hebrew College presents paintings by Joshua Meyer,'' catalog, essay by Dr. Steve Copeland (Hebrew College), June 2004.〕 This searching quality is characterized by a thick texture in many of his paintings, influenced by Alberto Giacometti, Frank Auerbach, and Rembrandt van Rijn. Every painting emerges from struggle and re-evaluation.〔''Becoming, ''catalog, essay by Dr. Sharrona Pearl (Yale Slifka Center and NYU Bronfman Center), May 2006.〕 The artist's work has been shown in galleries and museums across the United States, Europe and Asia, including a solo exhibition, ''Tohu vaVohu'' 〔Community Newspapers of Massachusetts, ''The "Commanding Vision" of Joshua Meyer'', June 24, 2004〕 at the Hebrew College in Boston (2004), and ''Becoming''〔New Haven Register, ''Heavily textured 'Becoming' draws from primitive energy'', Judy Birke, May 21, 2006.〕 (2006) at the Yale Slifka Center and NYU Bronfman Center. “Commanding visions,” emerge from the midst of Meyer’s thickly layered paint, according to Hebrew College Professor Steven Copeland in the introduction to the 2004 ''Tohu vaVohu'' catalog. “He engages...fateful questions concerning the character of art and of Judaism, their possibilities, challenges and problems.”〔 Meyer’s subjects play a hide-and-seek game with the viewer, often dissolving into the paint. According to Allegra Goodman, in the introduction to the 2013 exhibition catalog ''Rustle, Sparkle, Flutter, Float,'' these people “will reveal themselves, and they will disappear. Look at them up close and they scatter, self-effacing.” The figures are elusive and appear introspective. “Some artists try to depict our world. Meyer presents people in their own worlds, and invites us to enter.”〔''Rustle, Sparkle, Flutter, Float,'' exhibition catalog, essays by Allegra Goodman and Frances Malcolm (Dolby Chadwick Gallery), November 2013.〕 Meyer is a recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant as well as the Sustainable Arts Foundation Award, and a 2010 Painting Fellowship from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ArtSake )〕 Meyer’s work has been written up in The San Francisco Chronicle,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Everything in Between': Joshua Meyer paintings )〕 The Forward,〔The Forward, '' 〕 The Boston Phoenix〔The Boston Phoenix, Christopher Millis. January 28, 2000.〕 and The Boston Globe.〔Boston Globe, ''Artist finds his inspiration in the time before creation,'' Denise Taylor, August 26, 2004.〕 Meyer is represented by Rice Polak Gallery in Provincetown and Dolby Chadwick Gallery in San Francisco. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joshua Meyer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
