This weekend marks the 10th edition of Papier, a local art fair highlighting contemporary works on paper. Station 16 Gallery will be presenting artwork by Alan Ganev, Jef Aérosol, Laurence Vallières, Mr. Brainwash, Stikki Peaches, and Whatisadam all of whom have incorporated paper into their practice in varying manners, from wheat-pastes, collage, silkscreen printing, and sculptures made entirely out of cardboard.

Our partners, Instagrafite, recently curated the first edition of O.bra, a street art festival in São Paulo, Brazil. The festival invited artists from across the globe and featured a diverse line-up of talent. Members of our team had the opportunity to attend O.bra and witness the creation of many incredible murals. Check out some of our favorite below!

Matt Feigin, President of K-Way North America and local Montrealer, took an interest in contemporary street art about two years ago when he first saw the work of Stikki Peaches. He contacted us at Station 16 to buy a piece, and his interest in contemporary street art has only grown since. He has become a small collector. He now owns pieces by Whatisadam, as well as a series by Peter Andrew & Derek Blais, purchased while at The Scope Art Fair in NYC.  Matt actually sponsored the renowned Instagram street art curators Instagrafite to join us in New York to cover Scope and the week in NYC. That visit led to a series of devoted Instagram posts called the K-Way Culture walk. Check them out on Instagram with #KWayCulture.
