Harding Meyer
Brazilian
Harding Meyer was born in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in 1964. He studied at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Kunste, Karlsruhe, Germany from 1987-1993. He currently lives and works in Berlin and Karlsruhe.
The main subject in Harding Meyer’s work is his intensive pursuit of the artistic rendering of the human face. The subtle differences in the artistic realisation of each single motif are indicative of this intensive preoccupation. The faces which serve as the basis of most of Harding Meyer´s paintings, are originally taken from the media. Catalogues and magazines, movies and television are the pool from which the painter serves himself. Out of this flood of images Harding Meyer isolates the faces – which is in itself already a significant act. The face, which like no other part of the body conveys the individuality of a person, is brought back from mass medial use into a context of individual impact.
