[edit] Introduction by Ken Kiff
(to Edward Kelly's 1987 exhibition "Island Paintings" London)
Edward Kelly's paintings are hard won images. Kelly understands that nature is unconventional and the demands nature makes on his art often contradict any consistency the painter could depend on. What fascinates Kelly is why should Cronk ny Arrey Laa shrouded in sweltering heat and sea mist have a greater sense of reality when rendered in pure turquoise, whilst the colour of the sea on a bracing day at Scarlett point has to be precise in colour. Why days of studying relationships of shapes should be sacrificed to a fleeting play of sunlight.
