His trademark as a painter was rich, exciting colour which he combined with loosely figurative images of vertical stripes and forms or idiosyncratic calligraphy.
In 1958, while still making his home in Brampton, he held the first solo show of his work at Toronto's Gallery of Contemporary Art.
[4] His work at this time includes sombre canvases of the late 1950s and 1960 with dark colours, sometimes interspersed with red and purple, as well as loosely figurative images of vertical stripes and forms.
Over a period of years, Meredith recalled the calligraphy of Oriental art, his symbolic imagery changed into abstract imagery, and he used colour to explore space, enriching his palette to include pinks, purples and greens, then staining his canvas in the manner of other artists of the period.
[7] Moreover, in 1986, in his home town of Brampton, the Peel Art Gallery, Museum and Archives held a 30-year survey of his work.
