Tim Flach is famed for his poignant photographs of animals. Whether capturing in magnificent detail a fleeting and kinetic moment such as the instance when a wet tiger shakes streaming beads of water from his soaking head or managing somehow to get that same tiger (or maybe a panda … or a monkey … or …) to pose for a portrait, the results are far from kitsch or quirky just for quirky’s sake. Flach’s animal photography is fine art encouraging viewers to ponder our understanding of how other creatures interact with the world and to rethink what it means to be human.
The days to catch it are now precious few, but More Than Human at the Osborne Samuel Gallery in Mayfair presents a free opportunity to view huge prints of photography by Flach. There’s a free catalogue available as well as signed copes of his books as well.
The Osborne Samuel website says that this amazing exhibition has already ended, but I was told at the gallery that it’s extended until 21 January. Might be wise to call ahead: +44 (0)20 7493 7939. The gallery is located at 23a Bruton Street, W1J 6QG.
