Michael Labrie Surf Exhibit

As an avid photographer since age 10, and the grandson of primitive artist, Rose Labrie, I was exposed to the creation of art throughout my childhood, and like my grandmother, shunned formal training. I enjoy exploring abstract expression and use my camera and computer to blur reality with motion, layering, and weaving multiple images together . Shooting in low light conditions, I use long exposure times and long lenses welcoming the patterns created by moving subjects. Drawing upon images shot over 40 years, I combine color, motion, and texture.  I find the ocean to be a grand and changing pallet swayed by changing light, winds and currents.  I am pleased to share this selection with you.

Come view Michael’s collection at Atlantic Grill, 5 Pioneer Rd, Rye, NH.

All pieces are available for purchase in person.

As an avid photographer since age 10, and the grandson of primitive artist, Rose Labrie, I was exposed to the creation of art throughout my childhood, and like my grandmother, shunned formal training. I enjoy exploring surrealist expression and use my camera and computer to abstract reality by blurring motion, layering, and weaving multiple images together . Shooting in low light conditions, I use long exposure times and welcome the patterns created by moving subjects. Drawing upon images shot over 40 years, I combine color, motion, and texture into a sometimes cohesive scene.  For many years, I have limited what I hang and make available for sale to the more easily understood abstracted landscapes.  In private, the work that excites me has continued to evolve and I am now eager to start sharing work which may be more challenging to the viewer.
