STARVED&SEDATED
STARVED&SEDATED by MARKEL is a raw, unflinching portrayal of humanity's struggle within a broken system—a system that promises limitless potential but delivers only disillusionment and detachment. This piece explores the tension between human empathy and the greed-fueled ambition that strips away our sense of purpose and compassion. Through bold imagery and haunting symbolism, STARVED&SEDATED invites the viewer to confront the profound loss of our shared humanity in the pursuit of hollow success.

MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST
MARKEL is what happens when punk rock smashes into a philosophy textbook and spills all over 4000 square feet of canvas. Hailing from Saskatoon, he is part visual artist, part chaos conductor, channelling rawness and existential dread into colossal works that punch you in the face and then leave you to think about it. Symbols like sycamore trees creep through his art, a nod to his philosophy-fueled obsession with growth and life's messy journey. MARKEL’s work isn’t for your perfectly curated gallery wall—it’s for anyone who’s ready to wrestle with the wild, unfiltered truth of being human.
