Gordon Sparks

Gordon Sparks is a world-class Indigenous mask carver, whose work was shown in 2024 and will be shown in 2025 at the prestigious and exclusive, Collect Art Fair in London, England. He has also shown his work in galleries across the Atlantic region in Canada, and will be presented in a one-man exhibition by Craft Ontario. His mask carving is integrated with his 30-year career as a skin artist, and he combines mask carving with reclaiming and sharing his cultural heritage through the design of skin-suits through tattooing. Further, he collaborates with dancers, drummers, and regalia designers to breathe life into a host of characters, stories, and ancestral teachings.

Despite increasing demand for his work in national and international contexts, Gordon remains committed to sharing his cultural teachings and artistic practice and to mentoring potential and emerging artists in local Indigenous communities near his home community of Pabineau First Nation in New Brunswick.
