About the Item
The Wise Man by Benjamin Kelley is oil on canvas with an archival frame 10 x 8, 21 x 19 framed. The Wise Man was a subject that Benjamin and his father Ramon Kelley painted over the years.
Benjamin Kelley is the son of painter Ramon Kelley. Benjamin grew up in Colorado. Benjamin and his brother learned from their father Ramon Kelley.
Adam and Benjamin Kelley recall that, as young children, they loved hanging out in their father’s studio. Ramon Kelley talked and joked with them, but then suddenly he would grow quiet, pick up a paintbrush or pastel stick, and begin to work. “We were always welcome in dad’s studio. We could feel the energy there. Sometimes it was like church—kind of a sacred place—because once he started working and stopped joking, we knew it was time for us to slip out,” Benjamin says.
“My father showed us through his actions and deeds that he had a pure love and respect for art,” Benjamin says. “I have that. Sometimes it’s cost me because, instead of rushing through a piece and making a quick sale, I try always to make something right. He taught us that part of the privilege of making art is that when we are deceased, our pieces will live on. He taught us about the pursuit of excellence.”
These days, all three Kelleys live in the Denver area and are fine artists. Ramon says he didn’t try to influence his sons’ career choices when they were young, because he believes that parents shouldn’t push their children. “When they turn 18, they get serious,” he says. That’s not to say Ramon isn’t pleased that sons Adam and Benjamin followed in his footsteps. The three Kelleys go to museums together and attend each other’s openings,
