Jane Kelly: Britain’s most controversial artist?

Opening Night Private View on Friday 25th September 6.30 - 9.30. Public Exhibition 26th September - 18th October

Please call the gallery for opening times (01303 223005 0r 07759 33 77 499)

Jane Kelly’s retrospective at Cristus Gallery starts on Friday 25th September, 2009 with a Private Viewing from 6.30pm to 9.30pm. The exhibition covers Jane’s work from 2004 to the present and includes three stunning new paintings on spiritual themes.

We will also be showing Jane’s two most recent paintings which were specially produced for the HG Wells Festival. In typical Jane Kelly style, the interpretation of Wells and his life is far from conventional to say the least, and she forces us to question the boundaries of private lives and public art in the context of both “The Invisible Man” and “The War of the Worlds”.

Please email us for an invitation to the Private View.

Britains Most Controversial Artist?
Jane Kelly - 2004 -2009: A Retrospective
Hosted by Cristus Gallery
Friday 25th September 2009 - 18th October 2009

In 2004 Jane Kelly painted a picture of Myra Hindley. The painting lost Jane her job and caused her to embark on a search for truth and authenticity in art which continues until this day. Jane confronts us with murderers, dictators, religious figures, celebrities. She asks us to consider these people as human beings, not monsters or saints. And yet her controversial subject matter maintains and extends the great traditions of European painting.

“In a controversy, the instant we feel anger, we have already ceased striving for truth and have begun striving for ourselves”
Abraham J. Heschel, Philosopher, 1907-1972
