Kelowna91裸聊视频檚 North End continues to grow with new businesses and ideas, from breweries to crystal shops to vintage stores and now an art exhibit.
91裸聊视频淭he Last Mango in Paris,91裸聊视频� 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.

Many of Andrews91裸聊视频� 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.
91裸聊视频淲e all have a casket of emotions and imagination. I91裸聊视频檓 sharing mine, I hope the viewer brings theirs. What we could all agree on, is that it91裸聊视频檚 a bonkers statement. Art is many things, a chameleon of sorts, so if that91裸聊视频檚 our starting point of connection, then let91裸聊视频檚 have some fun,91裸聊视频� explained Andrews.
While, Andrews said his inspiration can go as far back as the 1987 film, 91裸聊视频楳annequin91裸聊视频� starring Kim Cattrall, who was a spirit of a woman from Ancient Egypt inhabiting a department store mannequin, only seen by her dresser.
91裸聊视频淢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,91裸聊视频� said Andrews. 91裸聊视频淚 like my photographs to be mini-stories, so imagine that mannequin becoming alive and leaving their posture.91裸聊视频�
The Centre for Arts and Technology graduate91裸聊视频檚 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.
