Daniel Kelly is an artist of exceptional insight who communicates his ideas with rare subtlety and superb technical command. Kelly’s distillations and simplifications of a single subject juxtaposed on highly irregular and textured materials fills our senses with much more than a simple visual awakening. Viewers are cajoled by what appears to be a unpretentious clarity of purpose and are tempted to re-think that which they would otherwise regard as commonplace, ultimately leading them to search for the extraordinary in the ordinary. Inanimate objects such as bowls and vases have beauty of surface yet when rendered at Daniel’s hand (and by this I mean a multiple stage process of assembly of medium, deconstruction of the subject, and reconstruction using numerous media and various printing techniques, resulting in each piece being original and unique), each work of art is brought to life in a way that allows the viewer to gain a deeper understanding of his original sense of purpose and even, in many cases, his sense of humor.
