This past Thursday Station 16 Gallery launched LOST PARADISE, a solo exhibition by Montreal-based muralist and pop artist extraordinaire XRAY. The show runs until September 10th, be sure to swing by the gallery for the full experience! If you can't make it, we've got you covered - here are some shots of the vernissage.
Celebrate the end of a beautiful summer at Station 16 Gallery with LOST PARADISE, a solo exhibition by pop artist extraordinaire and muralist, XRAY. The exhibition will be on display from August 18th to September 10th.
For most, the upcoming weekend will be filled with roses and candy hearts, but at Station 16, we are taking a more macabre approach to the weekend. Launching on Friday the 13th is the XRAY Spirit Board, a ouija-inspired artistic creation. To celebrate the product launch, Station 16 is hosting a seance at the gallery, where guests will be able to enjoy a drink, meet the artist, and summon the spirits.
In early January, I settled down with Sarah Thornton’s new book 33 Artists in 3 Acts in which she poses what appears to be the simplest of questions: What is an artist? Within the first few pages, Thornton is already dismayed to have people reply: “An artist is someone who makes art.”
I scoffed. My answer would be so much more profound, detailed and smart! Clearly, an artist is… blank. What is an artist? Over dinner, my husband, who is not involved in the art world, answered promptly: “Emily, it’s simple. An artist is a creator.” Really? This seemed too all-encompassing for my taste. One can create with no intent towards art. No, it wasn’t simple at all.
