| Thomas Allen’s book art photographs leap off the page and reveal the lighter side of noir. VIEW OUR GALLERYThe cut-out figures in Thomas Allen’s photographs are period stereotypes. They spring to life from the covers of vintage dime-store novels with playful irony, but an exacting regard for photography’s formal properties is what distinguishes his work from clever illustration. The visible layers between one figure and another are flattened to the surface of the print even as the scene appears in three dimensions. It’s a canny perceptual anomaly that rouses the eye into active comprehension. Click Image to View Our Gallery  | |
