Conor Kelly is an artist, lecturer, and emergent researcher currently serving as Programme Leader and Lecturer on the International Foundation programme at the Glasgow School of Art. His work spans contemporary fine art practices including painting, sculpture, installation art, text, and the moving image.
His research focuses on human/animal encounters, the animal as metaphor, the 'anthropomorphic embrace' in contemporary art, and notions of alterity in representing animal and plant lives. He explores these themes through methodologies that question dominant representational systems and engage with critical theories from WJT Mitchell ('What Do Pictures Want?') and Isabelle Graw ('Thinking Through Painting').
Kelly has curated and participated in numerous national and international exhibitions, such as The Hrönir (Jerks, Buffoons & Pests) (2019) and Daddy in the Algorithm (2017), creating temporary environments that challenge material culture's 'grid of identities.'
