| Summary |
*Coarse Language*From his international debut in Paris and beyond, follow Australian artist John Kelly's remarkable journey from his Dobell's Cows series to his recent Kangaroo works, as he traverses the world in seven years.The program lures the viewer into a journey across Europe but also into Kelly's mind and arrives at a new, surprisingly humorous landscape.Kelly burst onto the international art scene when his audacious monumental bronze sculpture, Cow Up a Tree (1999) was selected to be displayed alongside the works of Pablo Picasso and Alexander Calder on the famed Champs D'Elysees in Paris.He became the first Australian sculpture selected for display on the famous Parisian boulevard. Since then Kelly's work has been widely collected and frequently attracts six figure sums.Born in England in 1965 to an Irish father and English mother, Kelly grew up in Melbourne. While many of the themes in his work remain distinctively Australian, Kelly himself now spends most of his time in Europe and lives not far from his father's birthplace in Ireland.Writer and director John Doggett-Williams's first John Kelly program, Holy Cow! The art of John Kelly (2003) was broadcast five times by ABC TV.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Voice over: Bryan Dawe; Writer, director, editor and camera: John Doggett-Williams; and Supervising Editor: Ian Carmicheal (Summer Heights High, We Could be Heroes, Hollowmen) |
