Lovebot Creator Unveils New Fantasy Exhibit in Toronto Toronto, Ontario, October 8, 2024 – Multi-disciplinary artist Matthew Del Degan is set to debut his latest exploration into the world of fantasy with Borough of Ghosts, opening Friday, November 8th, 2024, at Worth Gallery. The exhibit, a haunting yet whimsical collection of paintings, illustrations, and sculptures, offers a first glimpse into two chapters from Del Degan’s forthcoming fantasy novel. I'm excited to share a new chapter of my creative journey with Borough of Ghosts. This exhibit is deeply personal, drawing from my own experiences of pain, redemption, and transformation,” says Matthew, “It's a story of love, courage and the inner battles we all face. I can't wait for people to meet Claire, experience her world, and witness the evolution of my work.” Determined to carve his own career path of becoming an entrepreneur, artist and author, Del Degan’s 2013 Toronto Love Invasion saw the introduction of concrete Lovebot sculptures and spawned a massive movement of strangers bearing their hearts around the world. While the success of this urban art project continues to be shared globally, Matthew is ready to reveal the next phase of his creative work, Borough of Ghosts. Borough of Ghosts serves as an introduction to a larger story, featuring the heroine Claire, an underwater princess on a quest to rescue her father and find inner peace. Drawing from personal experiences of pain, suffering, and liberation, the exhibit includes several large-scale, intricate paintings. The centerpiece of the show is a striking triptych depicting a twisted parade of monsters, anchoring the emotional core of the exhibition. Additionally, Del Degan will unveil an assortment of 30+ new Lovebot sculptures alongside this series. While many of these pieces are inspired by and complementary to the nautical themes of the exhibit, the one-of-a-kind “1st Of The Month” Lovebot collection also continues with several playful pieces on display. The exhibition will open on the evening of Friday, November 8, 2024, at Worth Gallery (830 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON) with an artist reception to mark the debut. The show will run for three weeks, featuring three special artist talks and Q&A sessions throughout its duration. About Matthew Del Degan Matthew Del Degan is a visionary Toronto-born artist, product designer, and entrepreneur, best known for creating the iconic Lovebot and launching the global movement The Love Invasion. A graduate of OCAD University’s Industrial Design program, Del Degan has built a diverse portfolio blending contemporary art, large-scale installations, and product design, reshaping how art interacts with public spaces. His work has been featured in MTV, Huffington Post, the Toronto Star, and more. With his latest exhibit, Borough of Ghosts, he continues to push creative boundaries, exploring new realms of fantasy storytelling through paintings, sculptures, and illustrations.
