Known for his comic book aesthetic and disjointed humorous narratives, Mark Delong’s new ceramic work uses a primitive visual language to explore sculptural realizations of childlike animations. Along with anew earthenware egg, Delong includes a sculpture made of ceramic, wood and a sea urchin. Also on view are small collage works and large scale airbrush drawings.
Born in 1978 in Fredericton New Brunswick, self taught artist Delong has had numerous solo and group exhibitions including Ed Varie Gallery in New York, Hunter and Cook Gallery in Toronto and Perugi Contemporary Art in Italy. Delong currently lives and works in Vancouver, B.C.

We’ve been hard at work for four months already on this show and we have four months to go yet. We’ve revised and rebuilt every aspect of the show in order to take it to a new level. We are expecting over seven thousand people at our next event and it is certain to go down in Canadian history for its breadth and its impact. We have an incredible crew working night and day to bring you the best show we can in order to honour the artists that deserve this recognition.
