About Robert

Robert Meyer is a Connecticut-based sculptor whose work investigates the relationship between form, material, balance, and surface. For nearly sixty years, his sculptures have explored the tension between geometric precision and organic irregularity, often combining contrasting materials such as steel, foam, wood, marble and resin.

Meyer first became known for his long-running monochromatic EPS foam works, where fragmented forms and hand-worked surfaces transformed fragile industrial material into meditative sculptural constructions. Over time, his practice expanded into increasingly hybrid works that integrate color, texture, and painted surface, blurring the boundary between sculpture and painting.

A recurring element in Meyer’s work is the dialogue between opposing forms—solid and fractured, refined and raw, stable and precarious. Rather than presenting fixed narratives, his sculptures invite viewers into emotional and spatial experiences shaped by tension, balance, and perception.

Meyer received a BFA from the University of Colorado and an MFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology, where he also studied woodworking in the School of American Craftsmen. He later studied marble carving at Studio Sem in Pietrasanta, Italy. His work has been exhibited widely throughout the Northeast and is held in private and institutional collections, including the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, New York.
