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.

Station 16 Gallery is thrilled to present Toronto artists, Peter Andrew and Derek Blais, in their first Montreal exhibition, Point Blank. Internationally recognized for its captivating photography, Point Blank is an ongoing project depicting handguns in profound detail. Photographing 100 guns in total, Point Blank examines the aesthetic value of the lethal weapons head-on. The high-resolution, frontal portraits display every fiber and scratch of the gun, creating a startling, yet stunning, portrayal.

La Galerie station 16 est heureuse de présenter les artistes de Toronto, Peter Andrew et Derek Blais, à leur première exposition à Montréal, Point Blank. Reconnue sur le plan international pour sa photographie captivante, Point Blank est un projet en cours représentant les pistolets en profondeur. En photographiant 100 armes au total, Point Blank examine de front la valeur esthétique des armes meurtrières. Sa haute résolution, ses portraits frontaux exposent toutes les fibres et éraflures de l'arme, créant une étonnante, mais très belle, représentation.
