Surface, structure, content. Two artist approach
October 2 -15 | Reception 10.2 | 6-9PM
Stan Meyer and Charlie Counter
Two artists using surface, structure, to show an ethereal content.
Stan Meyer creates flat-woven artworks out of roofing felt paper, utilizing inspiration for patterns from Celtic, Maori, and various other aboriginal cultures, combined with patterns found in nature or contemporary architecture. His large-scale wall works are unique and combine artistic aesthetic reminiscent of abstract expressionists with the handmade technique of fine craftspeople.
Charles Counter’s recent body of work originates in part from his interest Buddhist and Hindu philosophy. They represent an on-going investigation into understanding the nature of our experience.
Visually, these pieces come most directly from experiences associated with meditation. This has been a fascinating personal journey arising out of many years of readings, reflection and a yoga and sitting meditation practice.
