      Currently: Frozen In Time

      Picture
      Exhibition Dates February 1st - 26th, 2012
      Opening Reception Thursday, February 2nd, 6-9pm

      Each year, ViewPoint Gallery hosts exhibitions of photographs by artists outside its regular membership. In February the gallery is delighted to present the work of Quebec photographer Nathalie Daoust. Whether in New York, Tokyo, or Berlin, Nathalie Daoust has always asserted a childlike contempt for reality. With a passion for intimacy, this Canadian photography, born and raised in Montreal, has devoted all of her art to unveiling the secrets hidden beneath the apparent stability of life.
