Come take part in a thought-provoking discussion with Artist Chris Kelly as we explore ‘The Purpose of Art’.
"Art can be anything - from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to drip paintings, to a banana taped to a wall. In our contemporary age, all subject matter is valid and any style or technique can be used. But what ties it all together? And why does it matter? In this lecture I aim to explore and illuminate why art is a necessity - not just for artists, but for all of human culture. Intellectual discussion and Q&A will be part of the presentation."
Chris Kelly was raised on the east end of Long Island in East Hampton, NY. He studied painting and sculpture at Cornell University and his work has been featured in many solo and group exhibitions.
“The hidden geometry of nature has been an ongoing source of inspiration for my work, most notably in the form of the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci Sequence. With this new series of paintings and sculptures I have combined my interpretation of this geometry with my overall philosophy of art.” ~Chris Kelly
