Unlike most painters of his generation, Meijers plays with the boundaries of fiction. When one sees his canvases, one does not think of photography or art history, as with most contemporary painters. Instead, one is transported to the culture from which such a painting could have originated, contemplating the backgrounds and motivations of the creator – which, in turn, are completely different from what one might initially assume based on their appearance. Once this is understood, one realizes that Meijers cleverly challenges the viewer’s ingrained habits of looking.
