GARY MAYER
ABOUT:
Gary Mayer is from Detroit, Michigan. He studied art at Wayne Sate University in Detroit and became influenced by a group of artists called the Cass Corridor School, named after the area where they lived and worked.
Gary moved to NYC in 1982. During that time he had numerous solo and group shows. He has shown his work at museums such as The Bronx Museum of the Arts and the Everson Museum in Syracuse, NY. He had a two person show at the now defunct Exit Art Gallery in NYC which was reviewed in Art in America. He received his MFA from the Maryland Institute School of Art where he was a graduate assistant to the renowned Abstract Expressionist painter, Grace Hartigan.
In 2004, after spending over 20 years in NYC and Brooklyn, Gary moved to the Catskills. In the last decade he has shown his work widely in the area and helped form the GreenKill art space in Kingston. He is currently a member of the Longyear Gallery in Margaretville, NY.
