About this artwork
This piece, of John's model Clémence Bonin, we see an almost childlike nervousness of the talented dancer, the loose treatment of the tulle creates an immediacy, and the sensitive rendering of the hands shows delicacy. The face, half revealed, half concealed, suggests tension, innocence, but overall acceptance of a creative spirit.

« 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.
