Jerry Charlton Meye (1965) operates under the pseudonym ‘Jerry Amsterdam’. A textile designer for twenty years, has been creating linocuts, monoprints, and woodcuts since the lockdown. His ornaments and stencils explode into abstract prints in a palette of colors, transitioning from geometry to balance. His drawings, cut from perspex, applied in acrylic, and printed multiple times on various types of paper, suggest movement. They shift from being more expressive to lighter, almost watercolor-like. The white areas draw the ornaments into depth, and the colors flow with sweeping movements, contrasting with fine to coarse hatching. He achieves thickness through multiple layers, sometimes printed wet-on-wet. Meye strives for perfection, and even though he works intuitively, he leaves nothing to chance.

His last exhibition took place in Februari 2024 at pension Homeland in Amsterdam. Jerry’s next exhibition will be held at café de Koe in Amsterdam, with the opening scheduled for March 23, 2024, at 9:00 PM.
