    Whoever (pre) judges deprives himself of the chances of a future full of possibilities. Judgments block the great challenges of a promising future. Challenges that bring undiscovered qualities in the spotlight. Live optimistic and always let your smile debunk your judgment.

    Wie (voor-)oordeelt ontneemt zichzelf de kansen op een toekomst vol mogelijkheden. Oordelen blokkeren de fijne uitdagingen van een perspectiefvolle toekomst. Uitdagingen die nog niet ontdekte kwaliteiten in het daglicht te brengen. Leef optimistisch en laat je glimlach steeds je oordeel ontkrachten.
  • About the artist

    Heiner Meyer was born in 1953, in Bielefeld, Germany. He began studying liberal arts at HBK Braunschweig, from which he graduated in 1981. During his studies he was employed as an assistant of Salvador Dalí.

    Nowadays Meyer is renowned for his Pop Art-like paintings and sculptures, through which he explores the superficiality of our everyday lives and consumerist glamour. He tends to contrast this with images from the history of European art: Greek sculptures against Mickey Mouse. Meyer is passionate about travelling, and has participated in various exhibitions throughout the world.

    Heiner Meyer’s paintings are characterized by consistency and undogmatic intransigence. And likewise by the principles of an arte sull’arte, so art whose primary theme is art itself. In his works, he confidently layers quotes and adaptations of a wide range of sources. One above the other , demonstrating the simultaneity of the non-simultaneous. He shows a recurring set of confronting pieces in ever-new constellations. Meyer’s works are present in important public and private collections. Heiner Meyer is exclusively represented in The Netherlands by The Obsession of Art.
