Art
Item Description
The artwork of Kevin T. Kelly, currently working in Cincinnati, Ohio, is a meditation on current culture, interpersonal relationships, communication and past experiences.
The work has been described as: "Roy Lichtenstein meets Dennis Hopper on Steroids." It's a wry, complex admixture of sardonic social commentary, the six o¿clock news and the Sunday funnies.
Kevin says, "Postmodern Pop isn't a movement, it's a descriptive term I coined for my website. Generally speaking, people want convenient boxes in which to categorize everything, so I came up with a name to let people know the Pop Art I create is removed from the generation of artists preceding me. The Pop Art of Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Tom Wesselmann was a comment upon and used imagery derived from popular culture. The work I create has its origins in mass media of course, but is then filtered through a personal prism of reflection and introspection to create allegories of the human condition that I hope transcend the original sources. My objective is to open a dialogue with the viewer vis-a-vis the image, which will continue long after the viewing experience is over. I'm more interested in the questions the work provokes in the viewer's mind than the answers they hope to elicit from me."
Kevin¿s work has been referred to as "The Thinking Man's Pop Art."
