Illustrator Thibaud Herem's solo exhibition 'Le Jardin Fantome: The Dream Garden' at Albus Gallery💐 Thibaud Herem, a French artist and illustrator, and explorer, possesses a unique world of work defined by hand-drawn precise details. This exhibition, his second solo after the one held at Albus in 2018 and returning after four years, reveals the story of an unknown garden as a new series and an extension of the artist's work world. In the grand worldview of the 'Dream Garden,' all the flowers, bonsais, and buildings drawn are a mix of fiction and reality. The visible forms represent the present, but the non-existent fiction beyond the static images amplifies the imagination of the viewers sharing the work. The exhibition features about 30 pieces from the bonsai series and the new work <Hotel Fantome>, alongside large floral works and tree series that have returned on a larger scale. In the basement, it introduces new sketches, including some original drawings featured in the recently aired SBS drama 'That Year, We' and books published so far.
