Check out an Exhibition from Photographer Franco DeSimone

Franco De Simone's interpretation of Caravaggio's Narcissus.

This exhibition of 14 Fine Art and 26 Canvas prints printed by Andrew Patrick of Patrick Photographic will be on display at the Carrier Gallery.
As Franco explains, “It’s almost as though I’m there in the room while he’s painting and I pop in between him and the model and snap a picture.”

Between Two Worlds: A Photographic Homage to Caravaggio
Fri, Jan 27–Fri, Feb 24
Carrier Gallery, Columbus Centre
901 Lawrence Ave W
A special opening reception is planned for Thurs, Feb 2, 6:30–9:30pm, with the artist in attendance.

"De Simone has created a comprehensive representation of some of Caravaggio’s most famous paintings. Works like Narcissus and Judith Beheading Holofernes have been reimagined in photographic form, as though capturing a stolen moment between the master painter and his models.
