Gary Mayer - Contemporary Artist

“From Soul to Canvas” by Edward A. Burke

If you are fortunate enough to see an exhibit by this incredible artist Gary Mayer, do not expect it to be a pleasant or soothing experience it will be anything but.

His work is a visceral explosion of ideas and visions, with energy so intense that you will leave the work exhausted, however wanting more. It is hard to move from one image to the next, as there is so much to inhale and discover. The forms, colors and symbols dance across the canvas with frantic energy that beckons you in.

Trying to digest the mysteries and endless energy of one Mayer painting seems daunting, a whole exhibit is an experience the viewer will not soon forget. Once you are bitten by Mr. Mayer's work you will understand the term I used "Soul to Canvas".  The Artist's Website
