Chris Meek is a sculptural artist from the Raglan on New Zealand 's west coast of the North island, and has returned recently from New York, having had a close to sell out exhibition.

Chris has  been producing and exhibiting  artwork for the past 10 years.  He likes to describe his  work  as” panel and paint”,  acknowledging, with humour,  the part  of his trade,   panel beating,  played in his journey of becoming a fulltime artist.

Chris enjoys working with the uncompromising medium of metal and work intuitively on each piece, letting the qualities of the objects dictate the end result.  He describes his scrap yard as an overgrown garden having an endless supply of discarded materials waiting to be reincarnated into artworks.  His ideas come from everyday life, especially the moment “I believe the world should " make do with what its got."
