[Deutscher Text nachstehend]

Keith Mayerson (*1966) is a contemporary painter and draftsman, known for his work encompassing portraits, historical and personal scenes, landscapes, and more. The exhibition at Weiss Berlin aims to draw attention to graphic art as the foundation of painting, forming connections between satire, caricature, and the moving form of the line and the brushstroke. Mayerson’s drawings and a retrospective of his early paintings are accompanied by drawings from the Weimar Republic by Otto Dix (1891-1969), August Wilhelm Dressler (1886-1970), Carl Grossberg (1894-1940), George Grosz(1893-1959), Karl Hermann Haupt (1904-1983), Otto Möller (1883-1964), Josef Scharl (1886-1954) and Paul Wieghart (1896-1969). Mayerson’s work was strongly influenced by the works of these artists, as well as by comics and the figurative painting of the 19th and 20th centuries – together they form a lovingly dark panorama of figures and emotions.

Since 1995, Mayerson has been a professor for fine art and cartooning in New York and California. He has exhibited widely and his work is featured in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Ausstellung: 7. September bis 13. Oktober

Keith Mayerson (* 1966) ist ein zeitgenössischer Maler und Zeichner, dessen Arbeiten unter anderem Porträts, historische als auch familiäre Szenen und Landschaften umfassen. Die Ausstellung bei Weiss Berlin will die Aufmerksamkeit auf die grafische Kunst als Grundlage der Malerei lenken, und dabei Zusammenhänge bilden zwischen Satire, Karikatur, und der bewegenden Form der Linie und des Pinselduktus. Mayersons Zeichnungen und eine Retrospektive seiner frühen Gemälde werden mit Zeichnungen aus der Zeit der Weimarer Republik von Otto Dix (1891-1969), August Wilhelm Dressler (1886-1970), Carl Grossberg (1894-1940), George Grosz(1893-1959), Karl Hermann Haupt (1904-1983), Otto Möller (1883-1964), Josef Scharl (1886-1954) und Paul Wieghart (1896-1969) zusammen gezeigt. Mayersons Arbeit wurde stark von den Werken dieser Künstler beeinflusst, ebenso wie von Comics und der figurativen Malerei des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts – gemeinsam bilden sie ein liebevoll-dunkles Panorama von Figuren und Gefühlen.

Seit 1995 ist Mayerson als Professor für bildende Kunst und Cartoon in New York und Kalifornien tätig. Seine Werke sind unter anderem in den permanenten Sammlungen des Whitney Museum of American Art, des Museum of Modern Art, New York, des Los Angeles County Art Museum, des San Francisco Museum for Modern Art und des Cleveland Museum of Art.

We are honored to present My American Dream: Berlin Edition, Keith Mayerson’s first exhibition with Weiss Berlin. My American Dream: Berlin Edition is a new chapter of a ten-year project to represent and complicate the fiction of America and the possibilities of its painterly representation. Mayerson, an acclaimed draftsman and professor for both fine art and cartooning, has also published a number of graphic novels, among them Horror Hospital Unplugged with Dennis Cooper (1996/2011). This show combines oil paintings, drawings, and graphic works. My American Dream: Berlin Edition presents works arranged by three themes: Destiny, Pioneers, and Rebels. Destiny comprises paintings of landscapes and sites important to Mayerson’s narrative such as the Rocky Mountains and Elvis’ Memphis home, Graceland. The drawings in Pioneers feature civil rights leaders and powerful cultural icons such as Harriet Tubman and César Chávez – whose portraits are drawn with graphite a pastel colors on velour paper, creating a sense of strange softness and three-dimensionality but at the same time amplifying colors – making the top of a “VOTE”-badge on César Chávez appear like a wildly colored caterpillar. Rebels features paintings representing James Dean, as well as the graphic novel James Dean: My Life in Pictures.

Keith Mayerson is a contemporary painter, known for his work encompassing portraits, historical scenes, landscapes, and more. Through his paintings, Mayerson creates broader narratives, citing comic books as an inspiration and influence. Mayerson has exhibited widely and his work is featured in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Columbus Museum of Art.
