Artist statement
Kelly began producing his sculptures in bronze and in 2017, he discovered spark plugs as a medium in sculpture, which has gained him audience after his documentary with BBC PIDGIN in 2020.
His style of art has evolved over the years moving from the Benin art forms to contemporary forms and also to welded sculptures which includes repurpose / up-cycling of waste materials into functional and aesthetic arts. After decades of dedicating him self into art practice, gathering and merging experience from both informal and formal practice, Kelly has carved a niche for him self as seen in his body of works over time through his expression of an anatomical study and usage of materials.
Kelly’s works are culturally influenced and inspired by his environment.
