| About the Artist | |
Davies achieved her first public attention in New York City in the mid ninety's, with her "Lucky Paintings" and "Lucky Chairs" exhibiting with the OK Harris Gallery and then the Gracie Mansion Gallery in New York's East Village. Following the Lucky Paintings were the "product paintings" "shoe paintings" and "furniture paintings" then moved into photography with the "Alien photos." |

| The Lower East Side exists in a parallel universe in Sally Davies’ photographic series, My New York. A native of Canada, Ms. Davies has called New York home for 28 years; her interpretation of it is at once seductive and fresh. Building facades are secretive and beckoning. Brick walls and metal burglar bars form staccato patterns against glowing colors. Cars are stationary, hulking monuments. Graffiti constitute latter-day cave paintings. Doors have faces. Once-solid sidewalks are made of liquid or foam. Tethered to one of the ubiquitous parking signs, a bicycle is a fairytale steed awaiting its rider. My New York is a sublime expression of urban life where gaiety veils dereliction, artistic expression stands in for humanity, and one’s imagination takes a surreal stroll on Avenue A.
