Heiner Meyer: TRANSMISSION – Pop Art between luxury, everyday life and longing
From November 20, 2026 to January 24, 2027, GALERIE NOAH in the Augsburg Glaspalast presents the exhibition TRANSMISSION featuring new works by the pop art artist Heiner Meyer. His paintings combine vibrant imagery, iconic signs, and motifs of consumer culture into a visually intense art experience.
A kaleidoscope of the present
Heiner Meyer works with images that are deeply embedded in the collective visual memory: luxury objects, fashion, automobiles, comic characters, film quotes, and advertising aesthetics intersect in compositions rich in tension. The exhibition illustrates how strongly our everyday life is shaped by brands, media images, and societal longings.
Pop Art 2.0 and art historical references
In his artistic direction, Meyer draws on the image strategies of Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Tom Wesselmann. At the same time, he develops classical pop art further. His paintings combine painterly precision with ironic distance, opening a second layer of meaning between glamour, desire, and critical observation of consumer society.
Painting and sculpture in the Glaspalast
GALERIE NOAH displays new works by the artist in painting and sculpture. Centerpiece includes Transmite from 2026, a 120 × 140 centimeter oil painting on canvas. The color-intensive imagery, clear contours, and deliberately set contrasts promise an exhibition atmosphere where familiar signs suddenly appear strange and new.
Additionally, a selection of works from pop art pioneers Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Tom Wesselmann can be seen in the studio. This creates an art historical dialogue between the forebears of American pop art and Meyer's contemporary interpretation. The curation makes development lines, repetitions, and shifts within the pop art aesthetic directly experienceable.
Work observation as an aesthetic experience
The works of Heiner Meyer thrive on the interplay between surface and meaning. Smooth, shiny impressions meet painterly nuances; graphic shapes merge with subtle allusions. In the direct observation of the artworks, a sensual play unfolds from color, form, material, and spatial effect.
Meyer was born in 1953 in Bielefeld, studied fine arts at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Braunschweig, and now lives in Bielefeld. Some of his important milestones include the Rudolf-Wilke-Prize of the city of Braunschweig, the art prize of the Lottogesellschaft Niedersachsen, a travel grant from the Goethe-Institut Kansai in Japan, as well as exhibitions at the Bank Austria Kunstforum Vienna and in the Kunsthalle Messmer.
Conclusion: Experience Pop Art live in Augsburg
TRANSMISSION invites you to look at the imagery of the present with a sharpened perspective. Visitors can expect an exhibition that translates desire, consumption, memory, and societal self-images into vibrant art. Anyone wanting to experience pop art not only as a decorative surface but as a precise observation of our visual culture should definitely discover this art experience live in the Glaspalast Augsburg.
