THE SENTINEL

Harrisburg artist David Kern re-interpreted images in his artwork currently on display at the LGBT Center Gallery in Harrisburg.

PENNSYLVANIA---For many people, a look into the past can propel them forward. It was precisely a look into the past at the great Renaissance artists that has helped pushed Harrisburg artist David K. to break out of his familiar style and techniques. David K., aka David Kern, former Carlisle resident, has spent recent years working with abstract shapes in acrylic paints. But in is his first new series in over a year and a half, Kern puts a modern twist on late 14th century and early 15th century iconic religious art works by the Renaissance masters, including El Greco, Caravaggio, Bernini and Michelangelo. “Gospel, a Modern Twist by artist David K.” opened May 16 at the LGBT Center Gallery in midtown Harrisburg.
