Mitchell Kearney at Rebus Works

Back in the late 1970's and 1980's, pop culture in New York City was defined by punk rock, and the Ramones, and Andy Warhol, and the photographer Michell Kearney was in the middle of it.

Then, defying the old adage that in America there are no second acts, Kearney moved to Charlotte, where he has become a very successful commercial photographer.

But he brought his early work with him when he moved South, and you can see it now, up at Raleigh's Rebus Works, now through October 26th, 2013.
