The Wall
About this artwork
Artist John Kelly displays a striking realist piece of his long-time model, Ninon Luang Rath. He paints the subject in a passionate pose, reaching against a wall intricately detailed with flowers. The model's white robe slips over her shoulder as she anchors herself in a deep, succulent red fabric. The association of the dramatic palette with an equally dramatic pose creates an extremely emotional scene, says John.
