John Meade

Combining the rigours of geometry with soft organic forms, John Meade works in an intuitive way to materialise his ideas, creating tightly orchestrated pieces that explore the metaphysical, the surreal and the erotic. Meade’s superior use of colour, material, and surface, culminate in eccentric and immaculate sculptures that claim their space with a formidable presence.

Born in Ballarat in 1956, Naarm/Melbourne-based sculptor John Meade is one of Australia’s leading artists and has held regular exhibitions with galleries and museums since 1995.

John Meade is a Sutton Gallery represented artist, this project was supported by the RMIT Foundation, the Polymer Technology Centre of RMIT, and Jan van Schaik.
