Michael John Kelly

Michael John Kelly (b. 1975, Provo, Utah) is a Los Angeles-based painter whose practice combines traditional painting with digital collage to investigate abstraction, perception, and materiality. Blending physical and virtual processes, his work reflects influences from science fiction, art history, and contemporary visual culture. He received his MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles, and has exhibited internationally, including in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Basel, London, Berlin, Düsseldorf, and Istanbul.
