If you haven't already heard...we're about to blow you mind.DESSINEE GALLERY is proud to present its break-out event, What Women Want from April 2nd to May 11th. We invite you to join us at the opening reception on Thursday April 2nd, from 6:30pm-10pm.
What Women Want is a wildly provocative visual ode to the split female psyche; the narcissistic object of another's gaze and the lustful protagonist seeking her own desire.
The contributing photographers, in various stages of their photographic practices, produce content that explores the never ending question of what women want, uncovering more questions then they answer in the process. Like, why do body and mind seem to work independently of each other? How do male and female photographers capture these themes comparatively? And what role does visual stimulus play in attraction and arousal?
Also: Bangin' beats from DJ Philpmode; incredibly hot, live models in our front windows, and plenty of other indulgences.

THE ARTISTS:
Noah Kalina (NYC) first exploded across the blogosphere as "that YouTube guy" when he introduced his Everyday series. He now intersperses self-reflective images of fleeting youth, time and space with commercial work for Rolling Stone, Seed, ID, Interview Magazine and Esquire.
Yuri Dojc (Toronto) is a master eroticist who's works placed him among the best nude photographers of the world along side Man Ray, Robert Mapplethorpe and Bill Brandt.
Diana Scheunemann's (Germany) spontaneous style generates an unusually idyllic view, which demonstrates her skill and experience in the flawless world of fashion photography.
The equally fashion-informed Geoffrey Knott (Toronto) doesn't let anything - much less a camera lens - get between him and his muse du jour. His knock-you-flat energy translates perfectly to unite his subjects, images and audience.
The young, but oft celebrated Leanne Eisen (Toronto) has exhibited at Toronto's Pikto Gallery and 401 Richmond during Nuit Blanche and most recently won Best Still Life/Abstract at SNAP!09.
Talia Shipman's (Toronto) whimsical, stylized maturity has landed her work in publications and galleries worldwide and on Canadian Art Magazine's list of Toronto’s artists to watch.
