Robert Kelly was born in 1956 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he still keeps a studio and home. He attained his BA from Harvard University in 1978. His work continues to explore the metaphysics of mark-making and painting on a variety of richly constructed surfaces. Combining influences of the Bauhaus from Van Doesburg to Mondrian, with those of Schwitters and Klee, Kelly weds hints of the historical with the contemporary. His play of edges, angles, and cuts creates a tension and an intuitive logic to the placement of line and form. The play of postive and negative spaces often accents his interest in duality.
