Meggs is a talented, highly productive, Australian graffiti, stencil and fine art painter. Meggs’ is inspired by the nostalgia of his childhood past. His work explores the ‘duality’ of good and evil and the on-going question of morals, rights and higher authority. Reflecting on personal experience Meggs produces energetic depictions of heroes, villains, and subverted collages of pop culture symbols.

Spreading his street work as far as Paris, London and Tokyo, Meggs has also contributed to numerous group exhibitions both nationally and internationally. His work has more notably been sold through ‘Artcurial Auctioneers’ (Paris) and is included in the ‘National Gallery of Australia’s’ (Canberra) permanent ‘works on paper’ collection. Continually evolving his painting style with a continued passion for graffiti and character painting, pop-art and abstract expressionism Meggs is recognized as one of Australia’s pioneering street and gallery artists.
