Randy Blythe, Richmond, Virginia-based author, photographer, actor, music critic, composer and vocalist of Grammy-nominated, chart-topping heavy metal band LAMB OF GOD, is pleased to announce his upcoming photography exhibition, "D. Randall Blythe: Show Me What You're Made Of", taking place from May 2 to June 30 at Sacred Gallery NYC in New York City. The opening reception will take place on May 2 from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Sacred Gallery NYC is located in Manhattan's SoHo District at 424 Broadway on the northeast corner of Broadway and Canal. In addition to his work with LAMB OF GOD, Blythe is the author of the forthcoming memoir "Dark Days" (to be published July 2015 by Perseus/Da Capo Press in the USA, and Random House in the U.K. and associated territories), a music critic at the highly acclaimed TheTalkhouse.com, has acted in movies filmed in America and Asia, and periodically composes music for the Richmond Ballet. "I've been lucky enough to travel literally around the world several times for my job, and for the last few years I have carried a camera with me everywhere I go," states Blythe. "'Show Me What You're Made Of' will showcase fine art prints of what I consider to be some of the most striking images that I have collected, both at home and during my travels. The body of work is quite diverse, and in an attempt to highlight that diversity, all the photos will be shown in custom made frames made of reclaimed wood, adding to the individuality of each piece. The frames are made by my friend, Richmond, Virginia musician Greta Brinkman (former bassist for Moby, the Deborah Harry band, WHITE CROSS, and currently with RVA doom merchants DRUG LORD). "I am especially pleased to have my first exhibit at Sacred Arts, a gallery with such a solid connection to my community the underground music and arts scene. "I hope to see as many of you as possible at the opening, so come on out, check out some photography, and be sure to say hi to me and Greta!" Sacred Gallery NYC was established in December of 2009 by gallery director Kevin Wilson. The gallery's mission is to exhibit a diversity works and artists. Over the last five years, Sacred has featured graffiti artists, painters, photographers, print makers, comic book artists, documenters, and many other types of artists using a variety of mediums, including blood and live performance graffiti. The gallery prides itself on the accommodations that are provided to the diverse communities of artists that New York City and the world have to offer. Sacred Gallery and its sister business, Sacred Tattoo, have been featured with the BBC, National Geographic channel, Discovery channel, MTV, TLC, New York Times, The Huffington Post, The Daily News, various tattoo magazines, and many other forms of news and media.
