Jin Meyerson

Jin Meyerson (born 1972, Incheon, South Korea) is an American artist previously based in Brooklyn, New York, later dividing his time between Paris and Seoul.

With a disposition for large scale painting of high detail, the work draws varied responses from critics, claiming to recognize a wide range of influences, and identifying Meyerson's underlying ambition "to hold his own with the big guns".

His work is held in public and private collections around the world, among them the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum, New York; Saatch Gallery, London; and Yuz Foundation, Jakarta.

[8] Jin Meyerson's paintings are schizophrenic semi-abstractions based on throwaway images from magazines and other random pieces of visual culture.

Most of Mayerson's work displays his fascination with moving images, but for him a moment of speed or activity caught on film is not enough; the addition of swirling bands of striking colour add to the sense of motion to create something that functions beyond the limits of painting and photography, making the viewer ‘feel’ the energy of the image and invoke the spectacle of real life action when the moment itself is long over.
