The show must go on! Still Life Gallery’s Main Street location is closed due to the catastrophic Ellicott City flood in July, but we are pleased to present a solo show of more than 40 works by Baltimore master painter Tim Kelly at The Columbia Art Center!

“We had been planning this show since spring, and decided not to let the flood stop us from presenting the remarkable plein air and other representational work of Mr. Kelly to the public,” said Still Life Gallery owner Sara Arditti. ”Thanks to the wonderful people at the Columbia Art Center, we have an alternative location for his show, which features everything from nighttime boats in the harbor to burlesque performers to city scenes and landscapes.”

Kelly captured three top awards at Plein Air Easton 2016, the largest and most prestigious plein air painting competition in the United States. In the past 5 years he has won an astounding 25 top awards at regional plein air painting competitions.

Most recently, in September 2016, Tim was invited to enter two of his paintings into the American Masters Show at the prestigious Salmagundi Club in New York City, alongside some of America’s most recognized artists.

A lifelong Baltimore area resident, Kelly is an “Artist’s Artist”, a versatile Master painter whose greatest talent lies in turning the mundane into the sublime. Even harsh aspects of the city are rendered a bit more beautiful, a bit more romantic; whether a street-lit back alley, a boat docked in the night, or the inside of a bar. Tim’s careful, sensitive translation of ”real world” into “painter’s world” reveals a detailed, parallel universe of beauty that is usually hidden in plain sight.
