Meggs’ “Truth in Myth” Opening Night

Last Saturday, Australian artist Meggs (whose studio we visited earlier this month) debuted his solo show at White Walls Gallery in San Francisco, "Truth in Myth." Mixing paintings, 2D mixed-media work, installations and sculpture, the show demonstrates the many routes Meggs took to explore the theme of mythology both in history and pop culture. Using his interest in comic books as a starting point, the artist created interpretations of mythological characters in his dark, action-packed style. Meggs painted murals on the inside and outside of the gallery, creating a conversation among the diverse elements of his work. Take a look at some opening night photos.
