John Kelly Biography

John Kelly is one of the most popular and richest American Football Player who was born on March 31, 1944 in Fort Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale, United States. Kelly was born in Bristol, UK, in 1965. His family emigrated to Australia later the same year and settled in the Melbourne suburb of Sunshine. In 1985 John obtained a Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts Painting) from RMIT where he also completed his Masters of Arts in 1995. As a winner of the 1995 Anne & Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarship, he travelled to London to study as an Affiliate Student at the Slade School of Art from 1996 to 1997.

Before the court case Kelly’s Art intertwined sophistry and simulacra as noted by Victoria Hammond in her 1999 catalogue essay, ‘Cow up a Tree’, that accompanied the Champs Elysèes exhibition. In this article she said; “Kelly has for some time been exploring the notion of sophistry – false arguments that masquerade as reasoned truths in support of a case. Sophistry, which bears the same relation to truth as camouflage does to reality….”. In facing the law and Arts bureaucracy Kelly had to explore sophistry outside of the studio where his actions faced real consequences.

In 1999 Kelly was asked by the City of Paris to exhibit in a sculpture exhibition, ‘Champs del la Sculpture II’, held on the Champs-Élysées to mark the millennium. This exhibition included internationally recognised artists such as Red Grooms, Nam June Paik, Tony Cragg, and Barry Flanagan.

After the Champs Elysèes exhibition he went on to exhibit another monumental bronze work, ‘Three Cows in a Pile’ at the Monte Carlo Sculpture Festival in

2002. Other artists in this exhibition included Alexander Calder, Red Grooms and Keith Haring.

Dobell’s cows were first exhibited at Niagara Galleries, Melbourne, in 1993. Whilst studying at the Slade, a work from this series, ‘Two men lifting a cow’ was reproduced in France on the front page of Libération. These early indications that Kelly’s work had broader resonance beyond Australia influenced Kelly greatly, and his thoughts for future international projects.

John Kelly (born 1965 in London, UK) is an Australian artist.

Kelly’s interest in Australian history clashed with his idiosyncratic sense of humour and this collision created his early Dobell’s Cows series (1992–1996) based on the work of the artist Sir William Dobell. Dobell and his fellow artists were commissioned to camouflage airfields during WWII, and as part of this ruse Dobell made papier-mâché cows and scattered them around airfields to deceive the Japanese pilots – “Said Bill, I think the authorities underestimate the eyesight of the Japanese airmen”. There is very little historical record that these cows actually existed although Dobell’s camouflage activities at Menangle and Bankstown aerodrome are well documented in the Australian War Memorial and by the photography of Max Dupain.

At the famous Coubertin Foundation, just outside Paris, Kelly created his iconic ‘Cow up a Tree’ sculpture, an 8-metre high, four ton bronze sculpture that reproduces Dobell’s camouflage cows upside down, high in the branches of an Australian gum tree. This surreal sculpture, based on flood imagery from Australia, caused a Parisian sensation and was commented upon in worldwide media including in The Times, ‘Cows and debris put Paris back on modern art map’ (Charles Bremmer, 14, Sept. 1999), Time magazine the BBC and almost all the French media. This sculpture, one of three in the edition travelled back to Melbourne where it has been on permanent public exhibition as part of Melbourne’s Docklands precinct. The second sculpture has been exhibited at The Hague Sculpture Festival, Glastonbury Festival (2007), where it features in a Kaiser Chief’s music video ‘When the Heat Dies Down’, and in 2007/08 Musee de Arte Moderne et Contemporain (MAMAC) in France where it was juxtaposed against the work of Alexander Calder and Niki de Saint Phalle.

With this exhibition his three key themes to date (Dobell’s cows, the Australia Council logo and Nolan’s Moonboy) merged to form an idiosyncratic set of symbols that reference Australian modernist history, critique bureaucratic meddling in the Arts and formed a set of symbols that peculiarly become Kelly’s although the references are direct and specific (an example is Nolan’s Moonboy metamorphosis into an Alien). Also in 2007 he exhibited in Ireland at the Fenton Gallery with a show titled ‘There was an Englishman, an Australian and an Irishman…’ In the book ‘Representing art in Ireland’, the writer Fergal Gaynor described Kelly as an “obsessive” and “awkward” artist. A new documentary ‘Deconstructing John Kelly’ has been made by Fine Eye Productions and is due for release in 2009.
