We live in a world where animals are increasingly out of place, often pushed out of their natural habitat and forced to interact with the environment man has created for himself. The New York-based Norwegian artist Simen Johan depicts these animals with harsh realism in photos and photo illustrations now on view at Southern Methodist University's Meadows School of the Arts as part of the artist's latest exhibition, Simen Johan: Until the Kingdom Comes. The exhibition includes work such as "Untitled No. 153 (Buffalo)," a photograph depicting a powerful buffalo, his hide craggy with age, lying among human detritus in front of a misty, gray horizon. As in many of Johan's works, the animal appears exhausted and worn, but nonetheless powerful with a sense of strength and nobility. Johan's highly detailed photographs frequently bring together the realistic and the otherworldly, some dominated by foggy, mysterious landscapes and others with tense animal conflict. The exhibition is at the Pollock Gallery at 3140 Dyer St. The gallery is open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday through Saturday. Hours vary throughout the week. Admission is free. Call 214-768-4439 or visit smu.edu/meadows for more information.
Mondays, Thursdays-Saturdays. Starts: Aug. 29. Continues through Oct. 8, 2011
