Kerry Joe Kelly

Kerry Joe Kelly is not the hero of an Irish ballad, but rather an attractive and jovial spirit whose work reflects a mixture of curiosity, imagination, and determination. Whether on glass or paper and pencil, he is an artist always searching, striving to establish a route for his thoughts and sensations through an imaginative and persistent exploration of the materials he works with. His discoveries range from sensual abstractions of organic forms to surreal and erotic, or even dissolute, observations on sexuality.

It is obvious that the "erotic" remains a strong and permanent element in his life, never failing to attract or hold his attention, but his most recent work features a more colorful palette and a more humorous approach.
