Mike Kelley
















This is Mike Kelley's artwork, More Love Hours Than Can Ever Be Repaid and The Wages of Sin, 1987.  On the 90 inches tall, and 119 inches wide canvas, he used a lot of handmade suffer animals and dolls to make works of art. For this piece, he
 put a collection of stuffed toys together so that they look like a big colorful painting. I believe that when he created this artwork, he imaged all the time people spent playing with the toys. Therefore, Kelley proposes through this artwork to people to remind about their childhood memory, and leads them to go back to the moment of innocent.  Furthermore, it makes me surprised again about unlimited creative art world. I understand again by Kelley's artwork that art is that find something new and express in one's new way.
