Kelowna香蕉视频直播檚 North End continues to grow with new businesses and ideas, from breweries to crystal shops to vintage stores and now an art exhibit.
香蕉视频直播淭he Last Mango in Paris,香蕉视频直播� a popup digital photography and art exhibition will be held inside the unique vintage and mid-century furniture store Zangbell & Gill at 990 Laurel Avenue, until March 15.
The shop recently celebrated 10 years in the neighbourhood and co-owner Brian Gill said he and his wife have long championed local artists and were happy to spotlight Kelowna resident Darryl Andrews for his first solo public showing.
His photography is referred to as both theatrical and mysterious.
香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檝e been host to many local artists here at the store. The pandemic halted things for a while, but we香蕉视频直播檙e excited for 2024,香蕉视频直播� said Gill.
Many of Andrews香蕉视频直播� photographs feature mannequins, but as for the meaning behind the work, Gill said he is sure everyone will have their own idea about the photography.
香蕉视频直播淲e all have a casket of emotions and imagination. I香蕉视频直播檓 sharing mine, I hope the viewer brings theirs. What we could all agree on, is that it香蕉视频直播檚 a bonkers statement. Art is many things, a chameleon of sorts, so if that香蕉视频直播檚 our starting point of connection, then let香蕉视频直播檚 have some fun,香蕉视频直播� explained Andrews.
While, Andrews said his inspiration can go as far back as the 1987 film, 香蕉视频直播楳annequin香蕉视频直播� starring Kim Cattrall, who was a spirit of a woman from Ancient Egypt inhabiting a department store mannequin, only seen by her dresser.
香蕉视频直播淢annequins are so similar to us in build and even with human-like faces, that in a photograph, humans and mannequins are frozen alike, so distinguishing between them, with all the filters people are using, has become slim,香蕉视频直播� said Andrews. 香蕉视频直播淚 like my photographs to be mini-stories, so imagine that mannequin becoming alive and leaving their posture.香蕉视频直播�
The Centre for Arts and Technology graduate香蕉视频直播檚 last exhibition, Captured Images Exhibition, was the largest and longest photography exhibition in the Okanagan, held annually in the Peachland Art Gallery, according to Gill.
An end-of-exhibition event with the artist in attendance is planned for March 15, from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Zangbell & Gill are open, Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
