Wrik Mead

Biography

Known internationally for his short animations that follow the smoke of Genet's "Un chant d'amour" through endless poetic circles and spirals of desire, Mead's corpus signifies the resilience and seduction of queer culture as it navigates the gaps in mainstream culture. Mead received his MA Fine Arts at Goldsmiths, University of London. He currently lives in Toronto and teaches in the Digital Painting and Expanded Animation specialization at OCAD University.
