Norman Fox, "Camera Crossing," 2022

Opening reception on Saturday April 2 from 3-5pm

We so excited to feature the work of self-taught photographer Norman Fox.

Norman was born in Calgary, grew up in Port Coquitlam and in 1980, moved to East Vancouver.

The most exciting thing about Norman's photography is that he offers a perspective not often seen. That being the perspective of a person who has lived on the streets that they are documenting.

These images are real, in the moment, and will command your attention.

From Norman:

"My first experience as an artist was at the age of 47, on the heels of significant life changes.

For myself, being an artist meant first learning how to use a camera. Without formal schooling, living on the DTES, I relied on library books, documentaries, and other internet resources to learn more from my influences at the time: Henri Cartier-Bresson, Dianne Arbus, and local photographers Jeff Wall and Fred Hertzog.

My practical experience was grown from three years of daily walks through East Vancouver and the DTES,  learning the mechanics of a camera through trial and error."

This is Norman's first gallery exhibition.
