A Positive View photographer accepted to Saatchi gallery
A Positive View photographer Paul Kelly has been asked to show his work at the Saatchi online gallery and will shortly go on tour.
Paul Kelly, a photographer who was featured in the Crisis ‘A Positive View’ exhibition has recently been accepted to the Saatchi online gallery.
Charles Saatchi said:
[I am] very happy to see [Paul Kelly's] work on Saatchi Online. I am thrilled that the standard is so high and I hope it will be interesting to gallery owners, exhibition curators and collectors to see such diverse work.
Paul's work was highly commended at the exhibition in March and has already been heavily involved in the Bristol music and arts scene, receiving a gold record from Massive Attack's Daddy G for his input on their second album and working and promoting street-art megastar Banksy at the start of his career.
Paul has wanted to be an artist since he first saw the paintings of L.S. Lowry at seven years old; his biggest influences are now Diane Arbus, Jimmy Forsyth, Humphry Spender and Angus McBean.
Paul's work will be touring in the following venues:
Tend to Offend - Sheffield, July
Biscuit Factory - Newcastle, July
The Holy Biscuit - Newcastle, Sept
