Well Read
[art, books, Thomas Allen]
From March 10 through April 22, 2006 the Joseph Bellows Gallery hosted the first West Coast solo exhibition of Minnesota photographer Thomas Allen.
Allen's photographs are inspired by his childhood experiences with pop-up books and View-Masters. After cutting figures and images out of illustrated pages of old books and vintage fiction novels Allen then cleverly rearranges and juxtaposes the forms to create a 3-D tableaux. Then he carefully lights his subjects and photographs the scenes.
