Light Plays at O3 Gallery
Oxford Castle

"The dark grey, cavernous walls of the O3 Gallery provide the perfect foil for the vivid colours of Marc Allen’s photography. The eighteen 20 x30" images are unfocused, abstract and infinitely mysterious. Certain associations are triggered when you look at some of the pieces, but for the most part the enjoyment of the exhibition comes from the aesthetics. The colours and the general compositions satisfy something within oneself and make the visual experience very worthwhile".
