Berlin in November 2020.

The German Pop Artist artist Heiner Meyer has done several new works on paper from the Heroes on Paper series. Those are besides several paintings on display at GALERIE FRANK FLUEGEL.

Heiner Meyer has been providing us with insights into our national psyche and consumer behavior for almost forty years. Unlike the Pop Art movement, which focused on the individual everyday object, Meyer's work emphasizes the stream of juxtapositions of images that are fed into our lives daily from the past and present, reflecting on who we are. In his paintings, these images reveal themselves collectively through people and objects that are seemingly randomly selected from the encyclopedic stream of the visual feed of the community psyche. This feed, composed of a myriad of ubiquitous information portals, from the television screen to the glossy magazine or instagram that spreads across the cinema stage to multimedia advertising, constantly shapes us.

Meyer's paintings like Porsche or Escort Marilyn show a view of every moment in time within this stream and the personal as well as non-personal images that emerge in each of us at this particular moment. Consistency and an undogmatic uncompromising attitude characterize Heiner Meyer's painting as well as the principles of an "arte sull'arte", an art whose primary theme is art.

Pin-up girls pose next to Mickey Mouse, while society stars like Paris Hilton compete with glamorous icons like Marilyn Monroe. They show us that we draw our own conclusions based on the individual perspective and person. The watercolors Flashback, Wallpaper or Heroes on Paper with their shrill cars also reflect the metallic sparkle of money, haute couture and the dreams hidden in us.

"There is one thing that connects me with Picasso and Andy Warhol: We all like cars, but we don't have a license."

GALERIE FRANK FLUEGEL represents the artist since 2010 at the locations Nuremberg and Kitzbühel. The paintings and works on paper can of course also be purchased online.
