Mark Soo

Mark Soo lives in Vancouver, where he graduated from the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in 2001. His concept-driven artworks challenge social and civic boundaries. In Monochrome Sunset (English Bay - Oppenheimer Park), Soo illuminates the image of a sunset with a sodium light used in Vancouver to discourage drug use, drawing parallels between the acceptable euphoria experienced through watching a beautiful sunset and the drug-induced, chemical high, while simultaneously referencing promotional material produced by the local tourist board.
