New York City.- The Emmanuel Fremin Gallery is pleased to announce its second exhibition for renowned photographer Thomas Barbèy. "Dreams from the dark room" will be an exhibition of black and white photo compositions that give evidence to the artist’s ability to capture the impossible and fantasied through the manual process of developing film negatives and the assemblage of various imagery. "Dreams from the dark room" will run from March 15th to April 21st, with an opening reception to be held on Thursday, March 15th from 6 to 8 PM. Thomas Barbèy was born in Greenwich, Connecticut and spent his childhood in Geneva, Switzerland. He began drawing seriously at an early age, using black “encre de Chine” and gouaches for color. Some early influences for his surrealistic images have been Philippe Druillet, Roger Dean, René Magritte, M.C. Escher and H.R. Giger. He has been interviewed and featured on the cover of “Inked” Magazine and featured in the New Britain Herald. Barbèy lives in Las Vegas, Nevada and travels 2-3 times for inspiration as he continues to capture new fantasies with his lens. Thomas exhibits in galleries throughout the world and is included in many private collections.
