Dean Kelland

Birmingham,
England
27th October 1973

Dean Kellands work explores memory and nostalgia through the language of cultural signifiers, such as sit-coms, popular song lyrics, newspaper articles and maps. Photographic evidence or authentic materials (such as period wallpaper, wood effect vinyl, or second-hand books) locate the works historically and socially. Dean Kelland has had numerous exhibitions and graduated with an MA in Fine Art from Staffordshire University in 2006.
