Strychnin Gallery Berlin and Perihelion Arts present: Two Photographers: "Nuclear Religions" - The Artwork of Davey Jones and "Recent Photographic Works" by Dayvid LeMmon.
Davey Jones and Dayvid LeMmon are two American artists working with the medium of photography. Through digital manipulation and post production, both achieve stunning effects: While Jones' work takes you straight into an action-packed movie set, LeMmon's work is reminiscent of monochromatic etchings of the Old Masters - or movies by Ingmar Bergmann.
Also featuring: "Sorrows & Blessings" - Introversion Boxes by Lisa Mei Ling Fong in The Vault! Lisa Mei Ling Fong is an assemblage artist. She assembles and arranges personal collections of relics in her signature "Introversion Boxes" to create sentimental memorials.

I was born in a small town in West Virginia where I attended a Catholic school whose entryway contained a full size replica of Michelangelo's "Pieta". Even though I've never fully been able to embrace the theology behind it, I have been very influenced by the imagery and mythology of Catholicism, and in fact, still am today.
I have no formal training of any sort. My influences range from filmmakers Ridley Scott, Stanley Kubrick and Terry Gilliam to the artists such as Gustave Dore and Robert Park-Harrison.
Behind every one of my concepts there is a story and beneath each story exists an underlying mythology. It is my task as the works author to find that single defining image from the story and present it to the viewer as an isolated framework from which they may deconstruct using their imagination. In many respects, that is the power that the single frame has over motion pictures. The viewer is left to create for themselves that which surrounds the image. In the end, I believe this to be more satisfying than having every miniscule detail handed to you on a silver platter.
My work is an exploration into my interests into physics, mythology, painting, religion and literature. Because of the nature of the imagery I create, people tend to not believe me when I say that I've spent more time obsessing over Raphael's "La Belle Jardinière" than the whole of contemporary painters and photographers combined.
