Role reversal

“Upscale Your Den and Live Fully” (graphite and colored pencil on paper), by Boston-based artist Sammy Chong, in his show, opening Nov. 24, “Be Beast,’’ at 3S Artspace, Portsmouth, N.H.,

The gallery says:

“In Sammy Chong’s surreal drawings of endangered species, anthropomorphized animals are empowered as the dominant species in a hierarchical, fictional reality. Shining light on animal extinction, the work reminds viewers about the impact of our habits and choices on the world and its creatures.’’
