Eleonore Meyer

"Trees and heads" Pictures and sculptures

10.06.2002 - 19.08.2002

"A work of art should never be boring." This is the guiding principle of the artist from Eschau. With her talent for unusual structures and interesting compositions, she has created an exhibition with a surprising motto: tree structures and female images. Her pictures and sculptures encourage thought. What is obvious is that her pictures show clear structures but nevertheless express tension and dynamics. Everyday objects are pushed into the foreground, converted through the artist's glasses into cubist forms.  Her extraordinary techniques create almost 3D trees on the canvas and her sculptures can best be described with the definition "brainwork". These living features spontaneously involve the public in silent dialogues. Love for art already formed a part of Eleonore Meyer's childhood. However, her plan of taking up an artistic life was obstructed by the resistance of her family at that time. The trained dressmaker only started her artistic career after her children flew the nest. She developed her talents through different seminars as a member of the artists association "Offene Gruppe" (open group).  In 1988, the artist began further training in icon painting with Peter Bauer. Over the past ten years, Meyer has been a teacher of icon painting and holds her own seminars, for instance at the Leidersbach monastery this November.
