As a child living near to Manchester, I enjoyed creating images through doodling, sketching and painting. During my three years undertaking my BA Honours degree, I observed shape, form and contour within my urban surroundings, focusing on composition, light and texture. I enjoyed using various mediums, especially painting and textiles and found objects.
After completing my BA (Hons) I wanted to explore the urban landscape further. In 1998 I undertook my Master in European Fine Art in Barcelona, investigating the rich tapestry of its contemporary urban living, with its medieval and modernist architecture, fused with the colour and vibe of mediterranean culture. The Master was completed with a successful exhibition in the historical English city of Winchester. I still live in Barcelona where I enjoy making commissions and exhibitions.
Some of my achievements include:
Barcelona Metropolitan Transport Commission / published Interviews and write-ups in national and local newspapers and journals / interview in the European Culture Magazine / Live Painting performances in festivals and art fairs / over ten years of selling paintings in a Fine Art Auction / operating an Art Gallery in Barcelona - organizing and setting up exhibitions and providing paintings and commissions for Collectors all over the World including the family of J.P Morgan. Most recently in 2015, a successful painting commission in Miami, Florida
I look forward to exhibiting my paintings in Art Fusion Galleries 2016-17.
“I first encountered the pictures of Daniel Meakin in 1998. I was impressed by his boundless energy and ability to promote his many experiences using his vibrant and refreshing visual language. Daniel’s work senses the visual power of Art Brut and gauges the essential measurement between establishing a positive experience against merely mimicking one. Perhaps this is what helps to conjure the true magic of the individual vision.”
