Aron Meynell’s paintings are often walking the line of fantasy versus realism and are strongly affected by the soft, muted color palette combined with an intense amount of detail and technical application. His depictions of landscape have a unique atmospheric quality to them, resonating as a dream-like scene. Instead of seeing the whole picture, it’s as if you are viewing a particular moment, carefully crafted by Meynell to evoke emotion and an uncertainty in the viewer. Meynell is known for his large paintings with the figure as the focal point set amidst a mysterious and dream-like landscape.
Meynell was born in Birmingham, UK and currently resides in San Francisco. He is a part-time instructor of Fine Arts at the Academy of Art University San Francisco CA where he also earned his MFA in 2008. Meynell has been part of numerous exhibitions at the John Pence Gallery in San Francisco.
