EXHIBITION 2007 - SOLO, 2 - 15 MAY.

Arone Meek was born in 1957, and lives and works in Cairns. His tribal area is Laura in North Queensland. He has a Bachelor of Visual Arts, City Arts Institute, Sydney.

His works confirm his place as a leading contemporary artist in Australia. From his home in Cairns, he now creates works of art that speak to us of cross cultural interaction, relationships, gender, traditional and modern spirituality and his environment. His extensive accomplishments achieved in study, residencies, commissions, community arts, and public art, certainly attribute to an outstanding career to date, which will only continue to grow given his passion and determination. His works are testament not only to his skills and talents as a painter, sculptor, and printmaker, but also to his wonderful sense for colour and design that allows his work to shine.
