Singer songwriter Paul Kelly’s performance
persona and more elusive aspects of his
character are communicated by this focus
exhibition that presents a multifaceted
portrait of Paul Kelly over the course of his
performance career, at the MPRG from 23
May - 20 July.
With backgrounds ranging from fine art
and portraiture, to commercial and rock
photography, nine photographers document
the iconic Australian singer-songwriter Paul
Kelly over the last four decades. Combining
candid, live performance and studio shots
the works in the exhibition ‘Paul Kelly and
the Portraits’ capture the many sides of
Paul Kelly’s life and career from the 1970s
through to 2011.
Paul Kelly is regarded by many as the
Australian people’s poet. These portraits
selected from a range of artists and leading
music photographers provide insights into
the complexities of Kelly’s dynamic and
contemplative persona.
Kelly’s ‘bread and butter’ is public
performance. His songs are considered by
many as hymns of the Australian psyche.
However many of the photographers and
artists in the exhibition have spoken of
Kelly’s shyness and reticence.
Born in Adelaide in 1955, Melbournebased Kelly continues to tour nationally and
internationally. His most recent album, Spring
and Fall, was released in October 2012 along
with the feature-length documentary, Paul
Kelly: Stories of Me based on his ‘mongrel
memoir’ How to make gravy.
The exhibition features 2 paintings, 17
photographs, 1 lithograph and a new
screen-based portrait commissioned by the
National Portrait Gallery. The exhibition also
features a collection of short films developed
by Shark Island Productions. These four films
explore the relationship and connection
between Paul Kelly and three iconic
Australians - Sir Donald Bradman, Archie
Roach and Vincent Lingiari.
Visit the exhibition, Paul Kelly and the
Portraits from 23 May - 20 July at the
Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery,
Civic Reserve, Dunns Road, Mornington.
