Kelly John Gough

Bold oils on a raw backdrop of wood panel; elegant figures with a provocative edge – Kelly John Gough’s artwork embodies a breathtaking joining of juxtapositions.

Inspired by the human form, Kelly paints striking nudes and portraits with a composition enriched by chiaroscuro, exciting areas of negative space and the natural grain of his signature wooden panel canvas.

South African artist Kelly works from his studio in Cape Town and sells ready-to-hang works as well as privately commissioned pieces.
