Jin Meyerson
2001-2007
It’s hard to believe that this is the first publication ever for painter Jin Meyerson: his psychedelic, compulsively detailed, brilliantly colorful works are unique and masterful. Born in 1972 in South Korea, Meyerson grew up in the United States, and he is obviously fascinated by glossy surfaces, media imagery and the sorts of technology that create candy-colored motorcycles and oil-drilling platforms. It’s easy to call this work surreal, but on a deeper level Meyerson is a chronicler of contemporary life, representing the world in terms of the effects that objects have on us. In Meyerson’s paintings, it seems as if the world is being sucked into a vortex – or several – which spins with everything from refugees and third-world garbage dumps to NFL jerseys. Writes curator Jasper Sharp in an excellent introduction, Meyerson’s work transmits “a clear sense of urgency … a message of alarm and discomfort.” A stunning, oversized volume with a huge, fold-out reproduction bound into the center.

RICHARD ALLEN MORRIS
It’s Just a Certain Sound I’m After
Even though it seemed to take years for California-born artist Richard Allen Morris to be discovered, his exploration of the potential of painting as an artistic practice has since garnered him the reputation as a “painter’s painter.” His extensive body of work has earned him admiration by renowned colleagues like David Reed and John Baldessari throughout his long career. A free-wheeling interview with Morris and more than 60 reproductions, photographs and illustrations are interspersed throughout this beautifully produced hardcover book of Morris’s paintings from the early 1960s to 2007. His influence can be seen in the work of Reed and other contemporary artists.
