Bernard Meyers: Dividing Line - Peru, Urban Renewal and Worlds In Between

Bernard C. Meyers (b. 1955) is an abstract artist creating works on paper. His unique abstract sensibilities and distinct design style radiates from all his imagery. He is a master printer of his own works which include archival ink jet, etching, lithography, mono-prints and digital montage. 

Meyers graduated from RIT in 1977 with a BFA in Photography and 1990 with an MFA in Printmaking. After graduating, Meyers founded and operated a fine art printing business, Portland Photographics in 1978 that specialized in Cibachrome color photographic printing and had access to some of the world’s most renowned photographers. Meyers continued his career to work as a commercial photographer and specialized in architecture and art reproduction. Meyers took his rich and diverse experience to teach courses in photography, 2D design and traditional printmaking. 

“I am a voracious student of photography and my influences range well into the world of painters and printmakers. Abstract Expressionism and the more visually ambiguous photographers provide my visual nourishment. Since my time at RIT, I never stopped making and exhibiting art. The past five years have been the most creative and productive of my life.” – Bernard C. Meyers
