39 # N O B L A N K B R A I N S Neil Dankoff is a fine art photographer who owns and operates Kandy Gallery (Toronto, Montreal, NYC, Memphis). Neil's galleries display his limited edition photographs from around the world. He recently completed a commission for Hotel X Toronto, which included 800 original photographs on display throughout the rooms, corridors and lobby of the hotel. Each final photograph of Neil's consists of multiple images taken in varying exposures and focal points in an effort to take the viewer to a specific time and place. Monsters Inc. Neil Dankoff Artist Statement This limited edition photograph was taken in Tokyo in 2019. It features a series of colourful doors, which Dankoff thought would be perfect for this project. According to him, the brain can be seen as a series of doors – some are more easily opened than others. Terrible diseases such as Alzheimer's look to close these doors permanently. Dankoff likes that the doors are painted in bright, hopeful colours, which reflect the incredible effort being made to combat brain disease.
