Scroll over or click to zoom I painted this as part of my Danceuse series, working with a talented dancer, Clemence. I was inspired by Degas' dancers, but I wanted to be less abstract and explore the dancer's psychology -- the wistful look of the dancer into a bright whiteness suggests a melancholy, but also a curiosity, or even acceptance. The piece is wired to hang and unvarnished. - John Kelly Window JOHN KELLY Oil painting on stretched canvas Finished black edges Ready to hang One-of-a-kind Signed on back 2017 39" h x 21" w x .75" d 2 lbs. 2 oz. $2,550 SHIPS FREE ADD TO CART IN YOUR CART Add to Favorites Add to Registry John Kelly Paris, France Follow this Artist Unfollow this Artist Getting to Know John John was born in Paris and grew up in New York. He attended the School of Visual Arts in the 1980s and participated in the East Village art scene at the time, showing at 301 Houston Street Gallery and Ground Zero Gallery. His work was mainly influenced by the Abstract Expressionists and the German Expressionists, but that changed when he saw a Balthus retrospective at the Met in 1983. His work became figurative, and has remained so ever since. Today, he works with several models, and they’ve become active collaborators in his art. “Allowing them to be creative helps me,” he says. John’s paintings live between the realms of classicism and modernity. He painstakingly renders his models with the precision traditionally reserved for the world’s wealthy and powerful, but his subjects are like you and me. As viewers, we see intimate moments of self-reflection and vulnerability. The figures are so close to the surface, it feels like you are part of the incredibly charged scene.
