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.
There is an inherent shock value when viewing the work of Enzo Sarto. Executed in a clean and crisp manner, Sarto’s photographs highlight a deceptive innocence that demands attention. Although stating that his work “is about passions, prejudices, and fear,” a specific clarification, such as why a little girl wears a bandana around her face like a vandal and holds a gun as if she just committed murder, remains elusive. Politically and socially charged images infiltrate much of Sarto’s work, producing a dialogue that begs for an explanation.
