| About the Artist |
Richard Meaghan’s recent paintings are derived from his interest in ideas of globalisation, a process by which the people of the world are united into a single society and function together. The individuals within the paintings play some small part in this wider economic, technological, socio-cultural and political narrative, the unwitting germs in a much larger global disease.
Richard has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally and his recent shows include a number of curatorial collaborations with other artists, writers and curators.
These collaborations have resulted in new work involving new media and film. This has developed alongside his normal concerns and ideas of painting and installation. |
