An exhibition of Chris Kelly’s paintings and sculptures will open at The Leiber Collection in Springs on Saturday and Sunday, June 22 and 23, from 1 to 4 PM. On Sunday, June 23, at 4 PM, an artist reception and discussion on “The Truth and Beauty Paradox” will occur.
“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,” said Kelly. “I believe that art should be, directly or indirectly, about the triumph of beauty and the human spirit. My ultimate goal as an artist is to create artworks that bring beauty into the world.”
Kelly’s artist talk and discussion will focus on the common thread that runs from
the use of the Golden Ratio in art to the ongoing debate about the famous “Beauty is
truth” quote by Keats. He will discuss the link between the two, how they continue to inspire his work, and how they can be applied to art in general.
