A new body of work by Los Angeles-based artist Michael John Kelly exploring objecthood within abstraction through surfaces built with broad brushstrokes that are fragmented and reassembled via digital collage.
Michael John Kelly (b. 1975, Provo, Utah) is a Los Angeles-based painter whose practice combines traditional painting with digital collage to investigate abstraction, perception, and materiality. Blending physical and virtual processes, his work reflects influences from science fiction, art history, and contemporary visual culture.
