“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. 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, VA 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!” - D. Randall Blythe

D. Randall 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 – June 30, 2015 at Sacred Gallery NYC.

One piece included in the exhibition, entitled "GWAR Will Never Die!", will be auctioned for charity. 100% of the proceeds of its sale go to Art 180. Blythe states,  “In memory of my late friend, the musician and artist Dave Brockie, I have decided auction one of the pieces in my exhibition, entitled "GWAR Will Never Die!", and donate 100% of the proceeds of its sale to Art 180. Art 180 is a Richmond, VA, based nonprofit that helps bring art programs to children and young adults who would not normally have access to these opportunities. Dave was first and foremost an artist, and I am sure he would be pleased to have the sale of this piece help others gain an appreciation of the thing he loved so much, art.”

In addition to his work with LAMB OF GOD, D. Randall Blythe is the author of the forthcoming memoir Dark Days (to be published July 2015 by Perseus/Da Capo books in the USA, and Random House in the UK 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.

Witness D. Randall Blythe’s buzzed about and moving photographic art in the intimate yet eclectic setting of Sacred Gallery NYC.
