Exhibition – Meggs – King For A Day

Following from last years successful Own Worst Enemy, where he delved in the nuances of comic book heroes, as well as a number of solo and group shows overseas, Meggs is set to show a brand new swath of work at his upcoming exhibition, King For A Day.

“King for a Day is a brand new collection of paintings, screen prints and installations that examine society’s celebrity obsession through the prism of our own mortality and inner duality. An energetic depiction of those who crave power, wealth and fame in both life and death, King for a Day looks at how contemporary media and social networking has accelerated stardom and increased the pitfalls that come with celebrity attention.”
