Known for his psychologically charged depictions of the natural world, Simen Johan has expanded his creative universe to include ceramic sculptures, celestial bodies and detailed compositions that oscillate between bright light and dark shadows.

Simen Johan originally drew attention in the early 90s by merging digital manipulation with traditional darkroom techniques. Since then, he has been developing a hybrid form of image-making that integrates candidly photographed animals and landscapes with a compositional structuring and conceptual intent typically associated with painting and cinema.

Works are on loan from the collection of 21C Museum Hotel, Yossi Milo Gallery (NY, NY) and a private collector out of Princeton, New Jersey.

Reception: Thursday October 10, 5 – 7 p.m.

Visiting Artist Talk: Friday November 15, 6 p.m., WCAD 101
