MIKE KELLEY
Detroit, 1954 - Los Angeles, 2012
We comunicate only through our shared dismissal of the pre-linguistic (2) con Dossier, 1995
Ektacolor stamp, 43,8 x 57,2 cm
Printer's Proof of 5 editions
Signed, dated and inscribed "Printer's Proof M. Kelley 1995" on the back.
The work is accompanied by a private letter between Katleen and Tom, which contains a psychological analysis of the child author of the drawing from which the artist found inspiration for this painting.
In the writing it shows how the little student of Kelley with personality distorted by abuses suffered, has chosen to represent the inner anguish of a 'nameless terror' with the conventional image of the Halloween ghost.
