Delicate, lyrical, and alive with history, Bill Meyer’s 'Yerushalmi Cluster' captures the fleeting essence of Jerusalem’s ancient cityscape with a quiet, almost meditative intensity. These influences meet on the plate: loose, animated marks alive with wonder and sacred geography. Buildings, arches, pathways and towers rise like memories drawn from stone — a place both deeply rooted and perpetually alive through architecture, energy and myth.

Born in Australia in 1942, Meyer studied art history and languages at the University of Melbourne before training at the National Gallery Art School and later the Royal College of Art, London. His years as a resident artist at the Mishkenot Sha’ananim studios in Jerusalem during the 1980s and ’90s directly inform the work’s emotional and spiritual sensitivity. These influences meet on the plate: loose, animated marks alive with wonder and sacred geography, held within a confident, assured composition.

More than a cityscape, 'Yerushalmi Cluster' distills the essence of an ancient city seen through a singular artistic voice. It offers a rare convergence of personal experience and cultural resonance — a work that brings history, spirituality and immediacy into compelling alignment.
