Tim Meakins

Tim Meakins is an Artist and Designer based in Perth (Boorloo), Western Australia. Working across sculpture, painting, print, animation and publishing, he employs a visual grammar drawn from the history (and present) of computer graphics/operating systems and cartoons to create intensely energetic propositions around the ever-mutating forms, limits, plasticity, optical register and possibilities of digital and analogue states-of-being. His artistic approach combines elements from graphic design with a visual exploration of human connection and physicality, examining how far the body can be pushed, stretched, and resculpted. The works often consist of cartoonish manifestations of strength and power, where figures are depicted in demonstrative poses, flexing and lifting heavy objects.
