Fountains
In Fountains, Kellett shifts his focus from wide cityscapes to the delicate, often unseen beauty of tiny water droplets propelled into the air by the fountains of Trafalgar Square in London. Having travelled the world for Cross Road Blues, the artist now finds inspiration much closer to home—just steps away from his beloved National Gallery.
Using a telephoto lens and capturing these very fine water droplets suspended in the air, Kellett looks through a translucent veil, creating painterly, almost ethereal compositions.
He embraces an element of chance, surrendering control to the atmospheric forces of wind, light, and weather. This approach reflects his broader artistic philosophy - the search for the universal in the everyday.
