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. 

Station 16 Gallery is excited return to the Big Apple this weekend to exhibit at SCOPE Art Show.  As one of the largest contemporary art fairs, SCOPE engages with an increasingly international audience and attracts visitors worldwide. Known for its ability to forecast visual trends and emerging artists, SCOPE has a history of innovative curation and presentation. This year marks SCOPE's 15th anniversary of the art fair's New York exhibition, occurring simultaneously with The Amory Show.  With 60 galleries from across the globe exhibiting at SCOPE, Station 16 will feature all local artists to showcase emerging talent in contemporary, Canadian art. 

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.
