Diva's Song Jerry Kearns and Nora York at Mike Weiss Gallery summer 2015 |
Mike Weiss Gallery presented Diva’s Song, the second show by Jerry Kearns and the first in collaboration with singer/performer Nora York at the gallery. The exhibition featured eight acrylic wall paintings of larger than life size characters as high as eight feet that form a coherent yet ambiguous narrative. Merging Kearns' own “psychological pop” aesthetic with York’s rendition of “Vissi d’arte” from Puccini’s Tosca, Kearns and York re-imagined the aria, isolating it from the opera, and widening its narrative scope to encompass all the intrigue, drama, and emotional weight of a full length story.
