 SMORGISM MANIA


'out of my mind'

is a diverse collection of work created by Simon Morgan and his alter egos; they collectively form a group of Multidisciplinary visual artist living and working in Vancouver, BC.

the creative journey is driven from the dynamic interplay of three distinct personas: ‘Smorg’, ‘Smorgue’ and ‘:ISM’ .  Each persona possesses a unique creative process and interprets the world in its own remarkable way, resulting in a kaleidoscope of endeavors. It’s an artistic journey where each persona contributes its own unique perspective, resulting in an ever-evolving body of work that defies predictability. 

Under the persona of Smorg, I embark on artistic journeys marked by spontaneity and raw emotion. Smorg is the embodiment of my manic episodes, where boundless energy and a torrent of ideas flow freely. During these periods, I create with an intensity that knows no bounds, producing a prolific body of work that captures the essence of uninhibited creativity. 

Smorgue in contrast, represents the contemplative and introspective side of my artistry. This persona emerges during moments of reflection and equilibrium, allowing me to explore intricate details, subtle nuances, and the depths of emotion within my work. Smorgue’s creations often invite viewers to delve into the intricacies of the human experience. 

:ISM serves as the bridge between the two extremes. It embodies the harmonious convergence of my creative energies, blending the boundless enthusiasm of Smorg with the introspective contemplation of Smorgue. ISM is where I explore the delicate balance between chaos and order, seeking to find meaning during artistic complexity. 

​

As a neurodiverse artist, specifically dealing with bipolar disorder type 1, I bring a distinctive perspective to the realm of artistry. With a passion for exploration and a keen eye for multidisciplinary art, I dive headfirst into the realm of possibilities. My work is an ever-evolving tapestry of collage, painting, illustration, printmaking, digital art, sculpture, and a plethora of mediums that allow me to express my ideas in diverse visual forms. 

​

I am particularly drawn to themes of duality, transformation, metamorphosis, and the interplay of contrasting elements. 

​

As I create, I document my thoughts and ideas through video recordings. These recordings capture the essence of the moment, preserving the unbridled energy and emotions that infuse my work. It’s a candid glimpse into the heart of my creative process, where spontaneity reigns supreme.
