This work includes text by Petra Lamers-Schutze, Michael Stoeber, and Michael Wessing. Heiner Meyer’s painting is characterized by consistency and an undogmatic reluctance to compromise as well as by the principles of ‘arte sull'arte’ - art of which the primary subject is art. With superior ease, he lays quotes and adaptations from a wide variety of sources one upon the other, demonstrating the synchronicity of non-synchronicity. Sculptures from Greek antiquity, portraits of 1950s movie stars, Mickey Mouse, butterflies, cubes - these are the recurring set pieces of Meyer’s pictorial language. Meyer’s art is always a creation, never a repetition. He is never a slave to his influences, which are used, not worshipped.
