Clemence in Gold
About this artwork
A wonderful example of John Kelly's Dancers series - the painting is of his long time model Clemence. In this, we see her set against a brilliant gold background, but her large shadow suggests a play in dark and light, joy and sadness. The radiant expression on her face in the foreground of this juxtaposition suggests acceptance, an integration of both sides of existence, says John.
