John Kelly (artist)
John Kelly was born in London, UK in 1965. His family immigrated to Australia later the same year. In 1985 John obtained a Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts Painting) from RMIT University, Melbourne 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.
==Paintings – early works (Dobell’s cows)==
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".〔See Lindsay, Robert, Deconstructing Australia, 2006 McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park, < http://www.johnkellyartist.com/documents/lindsay.pdf.>〕 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.〔Australian photographer〕
Dobell's cows were first exhibited at Niagara Galleries,〔http://www.niagara-galleries.com.au/niagara/art_gallery_melbourne.html〕 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.〔Premiere edition numero 4754〕 These early indications that Kelly's work had broader resonance beyond Australia influenced Kelly greatly, and his thoughts for future international projects.
