DESCRIPTION:Schlechtriem Brothers\nRosa-Luxemburg-Straße 27
\n\n10178 Berl
 in\nPhone: +493023257885\n\nSchlechtriem Brothers Berlin is pleased to pres
 ent a show of new photographs \nby the New York based artist David Benjamin
  Sherry. \nFor his first Berlin solo show entitled “Sensate Transcendency
 ”\, David \nBenjamin Sherry uses traditional color processes and strictly
  analog darkroom \nmanipulations to capture the breath-taking majesty of Am
 erican National \nParks such as Death Valley\, Yosemite and the Olympic Qui
 nault Rain Forest \n(to name a few). These photographs\, all taken over the
  course of a month long \nroad trip in the Pacific Northwest\, were then in
 ternalized and reconstructed in \nthe controlled environment of his studio.
  Thus\, the resulted images form the \nbackdrop and mise en scène for a ca
 st of Arcadian dwellers and wandering \nmystics with all the pomp and glitt
 er of a James Bidgood set. The marriage of \nnatural landscapes and control
 led portraiture merge fact and fiction\, depicting \nSherry’s fantastical
  world. \nSherry’s photo manipulations of panoramic landscapes call to mi
 nd the \nHudson River School Painters\, such as Frederic Church\, in their 
 depiction of \nthe American landscape as a pastoral setting\, where human b
 eings and nature \npeacefully coexist. But where the Hudson River School pa
 inters saw the hand \nof God\, Sherry sees the frontier of the occult\, whe
 re the paranormal is the rule \nand there is no exception.  \nThe imperfect
 ions of his analog\, darkroom and film manipulations are akin to \na marria
 ge of opposites-the precision of film vs. the frailty of human touch – \n
 the occult proposition of a naked man at peace with a magical nature. His t
 otal \nrejection of digital manipulation is a devotion to the classic roman
 ce of \nphotography and implies the connection with the caring hand and the
  \nhandmade creation. \nDavid Benjamin Sherry\, born 1981 in Upstate New Yo
 rk\, has exhibited work \nat Team Gallery\, New York\, Andrew Kreps Gallery
 \, New York\, Mitchell-Innes \n&#38\; Nash\, New York\, China Art Objects\,
  Los Angeles and has had a solo show at \nGalerie Lisa Ruyter\, Vienna. His
 work has been featured in magazines such \nas V-man\, Dazed and Confused\, 
 I-D\, He\, Tokion\, and Qvest. Sherry received \nhis BFA Photography from R
 ISD\, Rhode Island\, and his MFA Photography \nfrom the Yale School of Phot
 ography.\n\n
