Meyerson has shown work internationally in several exhibitions and galleries including High Cholesterol Moment at Zach Feuer Gallery in New York, The Triumph of Painting at the Saatchi Gallery in London and at Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin in Paris. With a disposition for large scale painting of high detail, the work draws varied responses from critics, claiming to recognize a wide range of influences, and identifying Meyerson's underlying ambition "to hold his own with the big guns".[2][3] The work has been termed "hybrid fiction, born from photojournalistic fact".[4]
Meyerson is represented by Emmanuel Perrotin in Paris. His exhibition Progress is No Longer a Guarantee opened at Galerie Michael Janssen in September 2007.[5] with the catalogue Jin Meyerson - 2001-2007 also published in 2007 by Snoeck Verlag.[6][7] Later solo exhibitions include There is no way out. But always a way through in 2008 at Galerie Nordine Zidoun in Luxembourg, Forecast in 2009 at the Arario Gallery in Seoul, and Carpal Fatigue in 2010 at the Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin. Meyerson's work has been included in a variety of group exhibitions in 2010–2011 taking place in New York, Paris, Tokyo and Singapore. His work is held in public and private collections around the world, among them the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum, New York; Saatch Gallery, London; and Yuz Foundation, Jakarta.[8]
