NEW TO THE COLLECTION

Meyer Gallery is pleased to welcome Swedish painter Gustav Sundin to the gallery.

Through carefully observed interiors, Sundin finds quiet beauty in the evidence of everyday life. Meals finished, chairs left askew, and light moving across familiar rooms become lasting records of human presence. We are proud to present Gustav Sundin's American debut and introduce his work to collectors in the United States.

CURRENT CATALOG

Milt Kobayashi has spent decades painting the interior life of a room, the charged space between figures, and the private thoughts that gather around them. 

In Velvet Silence, recent figure and interior paintings are built through saturated color, broad passages of paint, and carefully placed pattern. Black, coral, ochre, violet, and green establish the emotional temperature of each scene, while a lowered gaze, an idle hand, or a solitary object carries its own psychological weight. Kobayashi’s figures sit, recline, and turn toward one another, yet remain absorbed in thoughts the viewer cannot fully enter. His early study of Velázquez, Whistler, Sargent, Chase, and the Japanese Ukiyo-e masters can still be felt in his use of negative space, compressed perspective, and economy of composition, though the language is entirely his own. These paintings find Kobayashi moving deeper into the style he has shaped over many years, looser in handling, stronger in color, and increasingly precise in mood.
The work will be on view through August 6.

UPCOMING SOLO EXHIBITION

WILLIAM C. HOOK: Yellow and Blue

William C. Hook has spent decades shaping the American landscape through a language of broad color, open sky, and strong design. His work is closely tied to New Mexico, where low horizons, distant mountains, adobe walls, textured earth, and passing weather become part of a larger visual structure.

Hook works primarily in acrylic, a medium he has used since early in his career. His paintings carry the directness of plein air observation, but they are not literal transcripts of place. They are composed, edited, and held together by an exacting sense of proportion. Color gives the work its lift, while the strength of each painting rests in its architecture.

Yellow and Blue is on veiw August 7th to 20th. 

Artist Reception to meet Hook on Friday August 7, from 4 - 6 pm.
