| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE [Toronto, ON - Jan 31, 2025]—Today, V13 Promotions opens the door to MARKEL’s World: a realm of monumental, multi-canvas mythology and daring, standalone visions, now accessible through an exclusive storefront at https://markel.gallery. MARKEL is an enigmatic creative force, a name adopted by this Canadian artist crafting some of the most ambitious works on the planet. MARKEL’s World, the digital space where he shares his vision, now finds a permanent home through this exclusive collaboration.
Each piece in MARKEL’s collection offers a distinct experience. Bold, standalone canvases demand attention with their intensity, while sprawling multi-panel installations draw viewers into layered, evolving myths. These works bridge chaos and story, demanding reflection and rewarding curiosity. Through this storefront, audiences can connect with MARKEL’s vision and the scale of his artistry like never before.
MARKEL’s work continues to grow—not just in ambition, but in scale. Each new collection builds on the last, evolving into larger, more immersive projects, a trend that will define future releases. His ultimate vision is to create works so vast they defy containment, challenging the very idea of boundaries in art. |

For MARKEL, it always comes back to stories. Every brushstroke, every canvas is part of a larger narrative—myths that explore who we are and who we could become. From his remote isolation, he assembles these vast works in open fields, rejecting the constraints of the traditional art world and embracing unflinching authenticity. The scale of his projects is so immense that drones are the only way to capture their full scope, translating his colossal myths into a form the world can see. For MARKEL, it’s not about recognition; it’s about making his stories visible to those ready to see them. MARKEL’s journey into art has been as monumental as his works. Dissatisfied with a life lived within the lines, he turned to art as a way to rewrite his own narrative. Inspired by a deep love of storytelling, he creates works that aren’t confined by convention but instead embrace the chaotic, the messy, and the monumental. His canvases are vibrant and unpolished, rough at the edges yet crafted with deliberate intention. For MARKEL, every stroke and every story is an act of defiance—an effort to carve out space for the limitless possibilities of art and life. |

COSMIC VANDAL. COLOSSAL MYTHS. ENDLESS CANVAS. MARKEL doesn’t make art to hang quietly in the background. His canvases are universes stitched from fragments of dreams, rebellions, and forgotten stories. Each piece feels like stepping through a doorway into something vast and untamed—where myths rise, collapse, and rebuild themselves. This is creation on a monumental scale, meant for those who crave something bigger—something brutal, beautiful, and unmistakably human.
