£5 (cash only - speaker's fee). Accessible venue.Oli Kellett (b1983) is a British artist based in Hastings, UK, who studied at Central St. Martins in London.
Since 2016, primarily using a camera, he has devoted himself to exploring humans within the urban environment, embracing the element of chance, this approach reflects his broader artistic philosophy - looking for the universal in the everyday.
Cross Road Blues (2016-2020) is a series of large scale photographic prints taken at city intersections all over the world and depicts people caught in moments of brief contemplation, before they continue to navigate their lives. The series was published as a monograph by Nazraeli Press in 2023. In Fountains (2024), he shifted his focus from wide cityscapes to the delicate, often unseen beauty of tiny water droplets propelled into the air by the fountains of Trafalgar Square in London. Using a telephoto lens and capturing these very fine water droplets suspended in the air the resulting prints echo the pointillist technique of Seurat whilst continuing to explore bigger themes of human contemplation.
In 2018 Oli Kellett was awarded the Rose Award for Photography and the Royal Academy Arts Club Award, London. In 2021 he was shortlisted for the Photo London Emerging Photographer Award. He was awarded the Royal Photographic Society International Photography Exhibition 161 Bronze Prize. In 2024 Kellett was shortlisted for the 7th John Ruskin Prize and his work was exhibited in January 2025 at Trinity Buoy Wharf, London. He has works in private collections in the UK, Europe and the USA.
