Collections include the World Health Organisation (Paris), Xenos and T. & C. Business Consulting (Sydney). ‘My portfolio conveys the progression in my work away from traditional oil on canvas towards more conceptual mixed media work mosaic work with fibreglass and Perspex. Prior exhibitions have focused on the fragmentation of images and have included mosaics made out of glass marbles and hydraulically pressed and machine cut Coca Cola can pieces cast in resin…’ Upcoming exhibition (early 2008), will continue the use of pills and capsules (Encapsulations exhibition) and extend into the use of 20,000 surgical scalpels cast in resin. All the capsules in the artworks are empty and fully encased in fibreglass resin. Further details www.lintonmeagher.com Artworks supported by All Plastics.
