My Country - John Meyer (10 iconic South African landscapes)

For many years the diverse and varied landscapes of South Africa have been an inspiration for John Meyer. Since his first solo exhibition with Everard Read in 1972, Meyer has dramatically captured the essence of the terrain of his birth country, from the arid Karoo to the spectacular Drakensberg; from the abandoned wilderness of the coast or the bushveld, to the ordered grandeur of the winelands. This collection of paintings is a commissioned series which has taken two years to complete. Meyer has painted ten of the most arresting vistas that embody, for him, the essence of this country.
