Almost in spite of myself, I continue to spend time in Florida, mucking about in the swamps and chasing after spoonbills and flamingos. - Scott Kelley
Scott Kelley is more than an exceptionally talented artist; he is an exceptional observer and admirer of the world around him.
Kelley was born in Binghamton, New York in 1963. He attended the Slade School of FIne Art in London, earned his BFA at Cooper Union in New York and received a C.O.R.E. Fellowship from The Glassel School of Art, Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.
Recent acquisitions by Scott Kelley at Surovek Gallery are Ardea Herodias, The Sunbather, Hypo Luxo, 2025, East Red Crown Sandhill Crane, 2025 and Blue Crab (for Stuart Lester), 2025.
Kelley's works are in the collections of the Portland Museum of Art in Portland, Maine, The National Gallery of Wildlife Art, Jackson, Wyoming, LL Bean, The Blackstone Group and The Maslow Collection.
Scott Kelley lives with his wife, Gail, and their son, Abbott, on Peaks Island, Maine.
The works of Wolf Kahn are part of an exhibit at the Brattleboro Museum that pays tribute to art historian Meyer Schapiro (1904-1996).
Schapiro was an art historian and artist whose lectures (at Columbia University and other venues) had a great impact on how art was studied and viewed. In 1948, Wolf Kahn attended lectures by Schapiro at Columbia and the New School for Social Research. Shapiro’s teachings influenced, and brought together, many of the artists and wrtiers living in New York at the time.
In 1986, when he was 22 years old, artist Phong H. Bui, the Co-Founder and Artistic Director of The Brooklyn Rail journal, met Schapiro and, in turn, met many of Schapiro’s friends.
Bui has curated the exhibit and has included works by Kahn, Kahn’s wife, Emily Mason, Hans Hoffman, Robert Motherwell, Robert De Niro Sr., Arshile Gorky, Philip Guston and others in the group.
Homage to Meyer Schapiro opens at the Brattleboro Museum and Art Center in Brattleboro, Vermont on November 15 and will run through February 15, 2026.
