Featured Art

Over the Influence is thrilled to present One Million Galaxies, an exhibition of LA-based artist Stefan Meier’s most recent artworks.

In his second solo exhibition with the gallery, the artist continues to explore his lexicon that juxtaposes text, cartoonlike imagery, symbols, and anatomy upon the canvas surfaces.
New for this series, canvases are hand-woven together from t-shirts or soaked in pigments to variously offer rich areas of color or an almost tie-dyed and faded ground for the compositions. Much like the symbols and imagery Meier depicts, the materiality of the canvases themselves reinforce old and worn with fresh and new; the woven, textured and raw, with smooth and crisp. The conflation of time and space through materials and imagery simultaneously evoke nostalgia with discovery, Meier postulates the artworks of One Million Galaxies to explore concepts of multiple universes existing simultaneously.

Stefan Meier

Stefan Meier is a multidisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles.

His work attempts to describe human-kind’s relationship with the natural world and the modern world. The story is told as a fragmented timeline of human history through images and text that Meier accumulates through lived experiences and various media (books, movies, Wikipedia, etc.)

Meier works in painting, drawing, collage and textile design. Past collaborators include David LaChapelle, Bernhard Willhelm, Darren Romanelli, K.B. Lee, Smets in Luxembourg, Maxfield Los Angeles, LN-CC in London, GR8 in Tokyo, Mr. Porter, and Netflix. He presented his first solo show of paintings in Los Angeles at Over The Influence gallery, January 2022 and has participated in many group shows and art fairs over the past several years.
