Kira Lee “Legends & Lyrics”
ACA Galleries
This event has ended.
ACA Galleries presents Kira Lee’s first solo exhibition in New York, Legends & Lyrics. The exhibition features over thirty new portraits of Rock & Roll’s most notable icons including: Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Jerry Garcia, and The Beatles. Lee’s unique typographic style uses detailed penmanship to produce curiously realistic renditions using the lyrics of their unforgettable songs.
“It is not a concept I came up with overnight. The process of creating texture and grey scale from typography has been and still is evolving…. Using theories to outline horn-rimmed glasses; song lyrics twisted and turned into locks of hair; heart-aching poems carved into crow’s feet; culture-defining philosophies stitched into a silk robe.”
-Kira Lee
