RARE! Amazing Find! Very rare pencil drawing on vellum and plastic -- TWO drawings that overlay to create one image -- by well-known artist, John Kelly: Maritime Artist. You will find prints of his work all over the place but it is quite hard to find an original. This is really unique in that it is two separate drawings that overlap to create an almost three-dimensional image.
To bring out the fine details of the drawing, we built a custom light box to light the artwork from behind. The LED light inside plugs into any standard outlet and has a range of colors and brightness to choose from. Remote included. We have shown it both lit up and not lit up in the photos. It is both a beautiful example of Kelly's work and a real treasure for the collector. Signed in the lower right.
Condition: Excellent condition. Drawing perfect. Framing new.
Measurements: The drawing is approx 4.5"x6.5" and it is approx 11.5"x13" framed.
About the Artist: Born in Scotland into a seafaring family, Kelly emigrated to Canada as a young boy. His experiences as a Merchant Marine seaman sailing off the coasts of Canada and Alaska would later be the subject of his art. His career as a musician included performing in nationally known performers The Echoes and The Dolphins and Don Ho. He returned to his art career, displaying precocious and prodigious talent and advancing quickly to study at the Art Center College of Design.
Kelly studied under and collaborated with Lynton Kisteler to produce unique maritime works which now reside in the Smithsonian Museum. Other famous series by Kelly include the Cargo & Steamship Series, Sea Odyssey, Homage to Turner and San Francisco series. His collectors have reached over 75,000 throughout the world.
Influenced by the rich tapestry of his life experiences and world travels, Kelly’s body of work is impressive in many ways, but especially in its far-reaching international scope. John was the first American artist to depict The People’s Republic of China in a lithographic suite. His numerous publications and shows have featured countries such as Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Tahiti. He supervised the printing of his first hardcover book by Collier Press at the famous Nissha printing village in Kyoto, Japan in 1984. He has printed at the prestigious Ettinger Atelier in New York, and with other noted studios worldwide.
A true renaissance man, John Kelly today is widely respected and honored for his past and present work as a painter, lithographer, multimedia artist, lecturer, instructor, and musician. He continues to lecture worldwide, and consult for numerous universities and art centers. He has received awards from the mayors of Atlanta and San Francisco, and was presented with the coat of arms of Glasgow, Scotland for his work of “Britain Revisited”. A former winner of the Quesnel Drawing Award, he was named one of the top 100 artists in America by American Artist magazine, and Best Artist of the Malibu Festival of Arts, Malibu, California. He is also a long-time Associate Member of the New York Pastel Society. Currently he resides in Los Angeles.
