THE BAYEUX TAPESTRY, 2018, oil on linen, 15 3\/4 x 15 3\/4 inches<\/p><\/div>\n

The unfinished quality of Kelley\u2019s work is part of its appeal, especially when the untouched white canvas creates a balancing tension with the white cloth, though after a while with his paintings it begins to feel like an affectation. The fascination for me is how he gets that matte texture that seems to be everywhere, even when it\u2019s evoking a gently shining pear. Four colors plus black and white. It\u2019s as if he first applies Gesso a few times to raw canvas, and it\u2019s so absorbent that it draws all the oil out of the paint leaving that luxuriant suede-like surface. The modeling of the cloth is a pleasure, as if he\u2019s stenciling some of those creases and applying a mist of paint over them. The little white lines in the purplish bruise of shadow at the bottom of the cloth look like beetle trails in firewood. His titles can be even more recherche and quirky than Shils’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
