Jay Kelly was born in 1961 and received his B.A. from Syracuse University in 1983. Originally a photorealist painter, Kelly shifted his focus towards abstraction in the late 1990s. Moving away from his remarkably rendered realist paintings, Kelly’s practice evolved into a completely anti-representational body of work. Calling to mind the work of Martin Puryear, Paul Klee, Alexander Calder, and Tim Burton, the work’s clean lines and minimal aesthetic also allude to 20th century modernist architecture and furniture.
Jay Kelly’s work is in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York,

NY; Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, NY; The British Museum, London England; Princ-

eton University Art Museum, Princeton, NJ; JP Morgan Chase, New York, NY; among
others. Kelly’s work is in the Sarah-Ann and Werner Kramarsky collection at Museo de
Arte Contemporaneo Esteban Vicente in Segovia, Spain. His work was also included in What is a Line? Drawings from the Collection at Yale University Art Gallery, along with work by Richard Serra, Brice Marden, and Carl Andre
