Moss Arts Center exhibition celebrates the life and work of Blacksburg artist Joe Kelley
The Moss Arts Center celebrates the life and work of longtime Blacksburg resident Joe Kelley with a survey exhibition of his drawings, paintings, and sculptures. “I am gone, expanding” opens on Friday, Jan. 5, with a reception from 5-7 p.m. in the center’s Grand Lobby.
A much-loved regional artist who forged an inventive artistic path both in painting and sculpture, Kelley died unexpectedly on Oct. 9, 2022, at the age of 55. Bringing together a comprehensive selection of artwork created over many decades, the exhibition showcases Kelley’s vast body of work while reflecting on his artistic sensibilities: intuition and authenticity, humor and playfulness, reflection and reverence.
The exhibition is co-curated by Kelley’s wife, Dominique Francesca, and Rude Graves. “I am gone, expanding” is the final line of a poem penned by Kelley that contemplates what happens after death.
