David Kelly has been working as an artist and teacher in Australia and South-East Asia since the early 1980s. His work features in private collections throughout Asia, Europe, Australia, USA and South America, as well as corporate, consular and national collections. He is represented by ReDot Fine Art Gallery, Singapore, where he is also Education Coordinator, providing Australian art educational outreach programs to school and interest groups. Since July 2016 his studio has been based primarily in Singapore and part-time in Adelaide, South Australia. He is a graduate of the University of South Australia, School of Art, Architecture and Design – Bachelor of Education (Secondary Art) and Master of Visual Art – where he has also been a painting and drawing studio tutor.

“… the diverse environments in which I have lived and travelled provide the inspiration for my work, drawing on distilled memories to capture something of their essence. An emotion related to a place and time rather than a recreation of physical reality. The results of nature’s own creative and degenerative processes. The tactile and visual qualities of weathered surfaces and the stories they tell. A personal response to events of that place. Dilapidated shearing sheds behind my old South Australian farm house, walls of Cambodia’s Angkor and Tuol Sleng prison museum, overgrown ruins of Argentina’s Missiones and seasonal change of the ubiquitous eucalypts surrounding my home studio. The process of all that we are and do, returning to the earth, also seen in the rocky outcrops of Arkaroola and the Kimberley, bleached coastlines of Yorke Peninsula and twisting sungai of Borneo. All these life experiences are drawn together by the common thread of aged textures, deeply weathered surfaces and rich colours of the earth. The outcomes are themselves products of elemental processes, each with their own story, each a unique entity…”
