Jin Meyerson's solo exhibition Forecast will be held in Arario Seoul from September 3 - October 25, and in Arario Cheonan from

September 18 - October 25 of 2009. Meyerson's first exhibition in Korea at these two spaces combined will show approximately

20 canvas works including Cold Sweat and Fever Pitch in Seoul, The Death of Water and New Pilgrims in Cheonan. Meyerson has

spent the past 3 months at a beautiful studio space in Jeju Island provided by Arario Gallery, exclusively preparing for his pieces

to be shown in this exhibition.

Meyerson’s paintings are based on images from magazines and other random pieces of visual culture, ranging from CNN news to Sports

Illustrated. He takes his source material as a sketch and distorts, tears apart, rearranges, and fills with psychedelic colors. Both the subject

matter and the technique of Meyerson's works are characterized by a jolting, hyperactive motion, composed of jarring colors and

intense level of details which pull the viewers' eye back and forth across the picture surface without rest. Their portrayal is often

distorted by the turbulent inclusion of a vortex, which convinces the viewer that the scene unfolding before him is being pulled

into something against its will. Meyerson focuses to induce sensation and the adrenalin produced by certain images of forces

working beyond human control or massive attacks of nature which are beyond the scenes of ordinary daily experience.

In this exhibition Meyerson’s subject matters vary from city scenes of Detroit and Paris, recycling plant in China and nuclear plant in Chernobyl,

to interiors of spaceships and satellites. He poignantly observes the issues surrounding us today such as how the psychology of people and

appearances of cities/landscapes changed through the process of massive industrialization of cities, the following chaos and downfall due to

the recent financial crisis, and how they try to recover from the mess and rebuild themselves.

Jin Meyerson grew up in rural Minnesota before pursuing his education in fine arts. He received his BFA from Minneapolis

College of Art and Design in 1995, and his MFA from Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1997. Meyerson has shown works

internationally in several exhibitions and galleries including High Cholesterol Moment at Zach Feuer Gallery in New York, The

Triumph of Painting at the Saatchi Gallery in London and at Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin in Paris. Currently his works are a part of

public collections of Solomon Guggenheim Museum New York, Chelsea Art Museum, and Philadelphia Museum of American Art,

also included in prestigious private collections across Germany, Belgium, and Luxembourg.
