We present Mathieu Meijers at Het Zuid Manifest. Het Zuid Manifest presents work by more than 40 artists, selected in collaborations with various institutes, art spaces and galleries. In this presentation at three locations throughout Rotterdam, Meijers works in both mural and book format, producing drawings with a strong graphic character that move between abstraction and figuration. The works shown here foreground the abstract dimension of his practice: layered compositions in which fields of saturated colour, geometric patterns and metallic surfaces of gold leaf, palladium, silver and copper foil are set against one another. Recurring rectangular forms framed by dark borders evoke screens, windows or thresholds, while diamond grids shift in scale and density across different pages. The material richness of the surface, from matte egg tempera to reflective metal leaf, gives each work a physical presence that exceeds the conventions of drawing. Executed on a variety of papers, from Ingres to Indian handmade and handcrafted papers, the works carry a tactile specificity that is inseparable from their visual effect. Conceived as books or as series of individual sheets, they unfold sequentially, each page or panel holding its own weight while contributing to a larger accumulative rhythm.
