Coffee Chats w/ Malik McKoy

Malik Mckoy Coffee Chat

Coffee Chats is a series of virtual casual gatherings with the CEAD team with industry guests. Hosted virtually in small intimate groups, these gatherings will provide a space for group conversations with practitioners who are interested in supporting OCAD U students and grads to offer mentorship, and share their professional insights and journey, while collectively creating an online community.

Malik McKoy is a multimedia artist based in Ajax, Ontario. McKoy recently graduated from OCAD University with a BFA from the Drawing and Painting program. McKoy has also recently graduated from Seneca’s Game Art and Animation program. McKoy’s practice consists of painting and producing computer-generated 3D visuals. Straddling the line between analog and digital, McKoy attempts to create a visual world that lives across both practices . While vibrant, surreal and playful, the subject matter of his work is subdued and references the artist’s everyday life experiences navigated through an intersectional lens. McKoy currently has work featured in this year’s Momenta Biennale in Montreal.

McKoy is expected to have work featured in upcoming BigArtTTO screenings and installations as part of Artworx TO. McKoy will also be featured in the group exhibition Personal Mythology at Ignite Gallery which opens October 21.
