John Meredith (artist)
John Meredith Smith (July 24, 1933 – May 9, 2000), known professionally as John Meredith, was a Canadian abstract expressionist painter. His trademark as a painter was rich, exciting colour which he combined with loosely figurative images of vertical stripes and forms or idiosyncratic calligraphy. He often used a small coloured ink drawing divided into squares as a template from which to develop his large canvases. In 1966, he began using details from still-wet drawings he had smudged – a way of working he regarded as his invention. Biography Meredith was born in Fergus, Ontario, but while still a young child, his family moved to Brampton, Ontario.

After he graduated, he worked for the local newspaper, (the Brampton Conservator), as a cartoonist. In 1958, while still making his home in Brampton, he held t ...
