Malik McKoy (b. 1995, Surrey, B.C.) is an emerging, multidisciplinary artist whose practice consists of painting and digital media. McKoy attempts to create a visual world that spans across both practices. The subject matter of the work is the banality of his personal anecdotes, translated through a vibrant and playful lens, while exploring themes related to queerness and sexuality. McKoy recently relocated to Montreal from Ajax, ON in pursuit of his MFA degree at Concordia University.

From the end of January through March, he will be exhibiting his project, Speed Run, at Thames Art Gallery (Chatham-Kent, CA). In July 2024, he exhibited work at Patel Brown’s Montreal location, in A nearly tangible fiction, a group exhibition. McKoy has previously exhibited work at Trinity Square Video, Susan Hobbs Gallery, among others. Artist residencies include: CO/CREATE (World Creation Studio, Montreal, CA), Hypercity (Long Winter, Toronto, CA), and the RBC Emerging Artist Program (Robert McLaughlin Gallery, Oshawa, CA). McKoy also currently has public murals installed in Ontario, Canada (Pickering and Vaughan).
