🎨 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT | Dyrk Meyers
There are some artists whose work begins with a carefully planned image—and then there are artists like Dyrk Meyers, who allow the image to reveal itself through the process of making it.
A longtime Skagit Valley resident with deep roots in the Sedro-Woolley and Big Lake communities, Dyrk has spent decades exploring drawing and painting through oil pastel, graphite, Conté crayon and oil paint, working across paper, Gator Board and canvas. His connection to Sedro-Woolley runs deep; many locals may also recognize Dyrk from his many years as part of the downtown business community.
What fascinates us about Dyrk’s artwork is the way it seems to evolve rather than simply be drawn or painted.
His process is highly intuitive and physical. Layers are added, altered and worked back into—marks may be smudged, erased, scraped, ground away or covered again. Rather than beginning with a fixed destination, he allows each decision to influence the next until forms, movement and unexpected imagery begin to emerge.
The result is wonderfully difficult to pin down.
Look at one of Dyrk’s pieces from across the room and you see an energetic abstract composition. Step closer and your eye begins picking out shapes, figures, faces and fragments. Look again a few minutes later and you may see something completely different.
There’s a dreamlike quality to it—a kind of visual stream of consciousness where imagination, rhythm, movement and chance all seem to be having a conversation with one another.
And perhaps that’s the best way to experience Dyrk’s work: don’t try too hard to figure it out. Just look.
See where your eye goes.
