Back from the Sneeuberge, 2016, acrylic and mixed media on canvas, signed lower right, signed, titled, and inscribed on the stretcher, 115 x 155 cm (45 1/4 x 61 ins), deep recessed black frame (119 x 158 cm) QTY: (1) NOTE: South African painter John Meyer is best known for his realistic depictions of landscape, genre scenes, and portraits. Born in 1942 in Bloemfontein, South Africa, he went on to study at Johannesburg Technical College School of Art before working in advertising and as an illustrator in London. He then returned to Johannesburg where he lives and works. The South African landscape has long been a source of inspiration for Meyer. The present, monumental landscape, suffused with light, is executed in his characteristic hyper realist style in his words One could say I'm obsessed with the magical properties of paint, with the process that allows for and unlocks the magic. Meyer's work has been exhibited internationally, most recently at Circa Gallery in Johannesburg (2021), the Saatchi Gallery in London (2018), and the Everard Read Gallery in London, Cape Town, and Johannesburg (2008 2021). In 2015, Lost in the Dust a body of fifteen works addressing the effects of the Anglo-Boer War was exhibited at Everard Read (Cape Town and Johannesburg) and Bonhams (Edinburgh).
