David Benjamin Sherry Biography

David Benjamin Sherry is one of the most popular and richest American photographer who was born on January 14, 1981 in Woodstock, New York, United States. David Benjamin Sherry (born January 14th 1981, in Woodstock, New York) is a American photographer who is based within Los Angeles. Sherry’s photography is mostly large-format film photography that focuses on portraits and landscapes and has been displayed at New York, Los Angeles, London, Berlin, Aspen and Moscow.

Her insertion of queer subjects in the modernist era of photography provides us with the opportunity to pause and contemplate the erotic structure of the image … The image in Deep Blue Sea Rising, Oregon 2014, as an instance, Sherry’s view of the American landscape is broken down into the tactile surface of the ocean and is then restored by the broad swathes of color.

In the series American Monuments, Sherry used his signature colored images to depict the spirit and intrinsic value of America’s threatened system of national monuments, not only conveying the beauty of these important and ecologically diverse sites, but also shedding light upon the plight of the perennially exploited landscape of the American West.

Sherry’s use of vibrant monochrome color began while studying for his MFA at Yale. Working closely with master printer and photographer Richard Benson, Sherry discovered that through analog printing techniques, he could manipulate color film to chromatic extremes. For Sherry, the vibrant colors he incorporates into the work are a conduit for his intense, sometimes mystical connections to the natural world. His exhibition “Astral Desert”, at Salon 94 gallery in New York City explored the topography of the desert and American West through multiple processes pushing photography to a “chromatic extreme.” In the exhibitions “Climate Vortex Sutra” and “Paradise Fire” Sherry’s work continued to explore themes of queer landscape, as well as climate change and its effects on the American landscape.

The work of the artist has also been showcased in exhibitions at galleries and museums like MOMA PS1’s “2010 Greater New York,” the Aspen Art Museum’s “The Anxiety of Photography” in 2011 Saatchi Gallery’s “Out of Focus” in 2012, and LACMA’s “Lost Line” exhibition in 2013, and the exhibition “What is a Photograph?” in the International Center for Photography in 2014. Since 2011, he’s presented many solo shows on the Salon 94 gallery in New York City as well as Moran Bondaroff gallery located in Los Angeles, CA. In 2011, he was a winner of the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Visual Arts Grant.

Perhaps this turn to a kind of “straight” photography stems from a realization that landscape indelibly bears the traces of human presence, mostly ruinous, and that this presence is deleterious enough to puncture the possibility of autonomy posited by Adams and other photographers of yesteryear. Adams avoided photographing people on the trails next to him and thus maintained a fantasy of natural preserve that he spent his later years defending as a form of social service. In Sherry’s photographs, people do appear, taking selfies in meadows or throwing themselves from bridges, tethered to bungee cords. In Swingarm City aka Caineville, Utah, June 2015, film crews work amid props and a green-screen ramp. Somewhat more elegantly, in what might also be his most potent rejoinder to Adams and the tradition he represents, Sherry shows Yosemite’s El Capitán dotted with climbers— specks on the enormous rock. In this new body of work, Sherry seems to veer toward a sort of humanism necessarily personal enough to incorporate identity but also capacious enough to allow for the possibility of exceeding it, the works offering themselves to a world that, soon enough, none of us will inhabit.
