High Line Nine Presents a new solo show by New York artist Kerry Irvine, <a href="https://highlinenine.org/kerry-irvine-shop" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">&quot;Behind the Veil&quot;</a>. The artist pulled from her Roman Catholic upbringing and the influences of the patriarchal world, and the ways in which these forces push women toward the unattainable purity of Mary, the virgin mother. These forces encourage women to quiet themselves, to make themselves up, to veil themselves. Irvine noticed this process both in the ways she existed in the world and in her art making practice, often softening some of the strongest and most captivating moments in her paintings.

Kerry Irvine is an abstract expressionist painter living and working in New York City. Highly expressive, her work is infused with light, color, motion, and a bit of mysticism. Through these elements, she takes us on a personal journey of vulnerability while allowing room for viewers to bring their own perspectives to the story. Irvine’s passion for art was nurtured by her late mother, also an abstract expressionist painter. Rooted in color and form, her work often calls on nature, landscape and the human figure to inspire her. Currently, Irvine’s studio is located on the 80th floor of 3 World Trade Center, allowing the expansive views of the city to compliment the expressive lines of her work. Irvine holds a BFA from C.W. Post Long Island University and spent four years at The Art Students League of New York. Her work is included in the 9/11 Memorial Museum in New York, as well as in private collections in the United States and abroad.
