Artist’s Statement • Kelter doesn’t stick to one style or formula. Instead, the goal is always to create fresh, exciting work that’s full of colour, meaning and backed up by solid technical skill. • Most of Kelter’s work is done with thick, buttery oil paint, using either a palette knife or brush. • Inspired by artists like Cezanne and Sorolla, Kelter takes the time to make a real connection with the subject of a painting—whether it is nature or people—because that is what the viewer will connect with. This quality is what keeps viewers revisiting the paintings, savouring the depth and many levels of the work. Guided by a belief that art should uplift, energize, and inspire, Kelter Art’s paintings blend liveliness of colour with a subtle attention to atmosphere. • The BA from QUB taught Kelter how to think creatively and express ideas in ways that still influence the art today. • Currently Chair of Armagh Art Club and 3 times winner of Summerisland Cup and twice winner of Rainbow Communications Trophy. • You can follow Kelterart on Facebook and Instagram, and check out or buy the art at Gormley’s Gallery auctions, the Benburb shop, Art Club exhibitions, or in the artist’s studio.

Eamonn Connolly

3 artworks

Eamonn and ‘artist’ are never used in the same sentence unless combined with another word and only then for someone’s amusement. Eamonn experiments with all mediums but tends towards graphite, charcoal and pastels. He has yet to find a style but ‘loose’ seems to suit. His process is to lurk in his man-cave and hope for something to happen. Eamonn recognises good art. Inspiration are scenes he likes and wants to capture. This means pausing television programmes and taking photos of the picture on the screen. He has hundreds of images he imagines he will draw, sometime. Eamonn’s achievements are to actually finish a picture. Most end up in a bin, to be recycled in the future when the required skill-set us attained. Eamonn’s work can be viewed by invitation only, as in, ‘Do you want to see my etchings?’. This has had very limited success, even with his wife.
