Pop culture references tinged with nostalgia for childhood heroes and villains, Meggs’ eclectic works explore the notion of duality and the on-going question of morals, rights and authorities. Reflecting on personal experience, Meggs produces energetic depictions of heroes, villains, and subverted collages of pop culture symbology. In ‘Toy Boy’ a cartoon mouse implodes with the pent up energy of a marble furiously swirled inside a can of spray paint. In ‘Love, Hate’ comic book word bubbles declare ‘It’s happened ! The time has come !’ as fists pound through bloodied layers of amputated imagery in an unholy alliance of Pop and abstract expressionism. Meggs’ work has been exhibited internationally and is included in the National Gallery of Australia’s permanent collection.
