About this artwork
This piece is of Clémence Bonin, a Parisian dancer. Showing the mixture of confidence and hesitation, the model poses, a slight smile and direct gaze challenging the viewer. The angle of her arms is reflected in a strong shadow framed by rose and gold, while the left hemisphere of the picture plane is almost pure black, highlighting the striking white of her costume.

« I vary between having the model unaware of the gaze, to having the model appropriate the gaze and challenge the viewer as to his or her relationship to the model. »
John Kelly is an experienced painter whose works have been exhibited across the US and France since the 1980s. His influences range from Degas to William Bailey, and he seeks to capture the psychological state of his models in each of his paintings. Simple poses are juxtaposed with evocative surroundings; stillness with movement.
