“This series of works is inspired by childhood memories. Growing up in Montreal and Hudson, Quebec, my childlike understanding of neighborhood life was first shaped by the urban atmosphere of NDG and later by the rural charm of Hudson. Both places, despite their differences, shared key community touchpoints—one of the most memorable being the local skating rink. I was also fascinated by the unique character of houses and the idea of what makes a village. These pieces reflect those lasting memories while also expressing my personal painterly interests, particularly influenced by fauvism and cubism”.

 

A graduate of Concordia University in Montreal (1982), he specialized in painting and studied under such luminaries as Guido Molinari, John Fox and Tom Hopkins.

Recipient of the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal (2002), as well as grants from the Canada Council and Quebec's ministère de la Culture, he has been a regularly exhibiting artist since 1980. His work has been exhibited across the country and has been collected by several museums including le Musée du Québec, Musée d’art Contemporain in Montreal, Canada Council Art Bank in Ottawa, Calgary's Nickel Arts Museum and the Agnes Etherington Arts Centre in Kingston.

Marok’s paintings hang in many private collections, as well as in the collections of the University of Ottawa, the University of Quebec, McGill university, the City of Ottawa and the City of Gatineau. For the past 30 years, Marok has lived and worked in Wakefield, Quebec, a quaint little village in the Gatineau Hills, where he paints full-time.
