Indigenous Art of the Day: “Trickster 4: What Me Worry”, 2025 by Randy “The Raven” Babichuk (Nuu-chah-nulth). Painting on board.
Statement: “Alfred E Newman of Mad Magazine (1955 - present) is compared to the Northwest Coast Raven in this painting. Both are tricksters and shape-shifters who challenged societal norms, offer satirical critique, provide cultural reflection, and use humour to convey important messages.”
We welcome Randy the Raven to Mark Loria Gallery. Steeped in a decades long practice in Victoria of graffiti art, street and skateboard culture, comic books, and the punk rock scene, Randy brings a Banksy-like mix of social commentary, humour and contemporary flair - all grounded in his Nuu-chah-nulth indigenous heritage. We are excited to introduce Randy to our community with a special thanks to Aunty Collective on their 2025 exhibition of Randy’s new work.
