Matt Hansen: Disconnected

March 17 - May 28, 2016 - The images in this exhibition were selected by the artist for their ability to convey a sense of beauty, drama, elegance, humor, and uniqueness displayed by the various animal species with which we share the planet. Specifically, these photographs depict the everyday moments that go unnoticed by humans who lack exposure to wildlife and nature. In keeping with the spirit of outdoor recreation retailer Cabela’s and their recently implemented “Disconnect Day,” Matt Hansen’s works encourage the viewer to put down their electronic devices and reconnect with nature and their family and friends. Exhibiting clean, sharp, and highly emphasized focal points, Hansen’s photographs capture the awe-inspiring subject of the living world around us, and bring together the elements of composition, light, color, and action to communicate his own joyous emotions experienced when immersed in the great outdoors.
