The Paintings Paint Themselves
Documentary
2018
6 min
Lancaster, PA
For the past 20 years, New York based, self-taught artist Bill Mayer has been creating an exuberant and startling body of work. He captures the gritty street life of pre-Bloomberg New York City and reimagines classical painting genres inspired by lifelong visits to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Mayer invites us to his studio - housed inside a 200-year old hotel in Davenport, New York -for an intimate look at his art as formal practice, expressive therapy, and a way to create the worlds he wants to see.
