/ABOUT KELLY DE MEYER ::.

SHE WHO DRAWS WITH PHOTOGRAPHS AND TAKES SNAP SHOTS WITH HER PENCIL...

Artist Statement

I’m fascinated by people and their psyche. Captivated by the beauty of the minority and the intriguing game between opposites in any shape or form, I try to create a point of recognition for the viewer.

I have just one addiction and that’s my obsession with snails that smile without their teeth showing.

Quote

Kelly De Meyer is not interested in art as it were. Her passion is people, her search is one for those human similarities that might take us towards something like a truth that suits the whole species. She’s looking for this beneath the surface, under the clothes; using psychology and emotion as the foundations for expressing her own vocabulary. Can a word really communicate our feelings?
With exceptional precision and an intimate vulnerable approach, the young Belgian illustrator tries to get there in images. Her pictures tell stories.

The narratives are tender, but not gentle. They are somehow aware that the image can always only be the surface, and when you start staring into the skin of her work, smooth flesh reveals its scars, things get darker, and Kelly gingerly pushes you to walk away from the light. Don’t be afraid. All you can find in there is yourself.

[JANE DOE 13] VERSUS MR. [SOAP BAR] HOUDINI

New project I'm working on at the moment. You can already
view a little preview.

THE [BIRD] KEEPER

A website for Eddy Vinck. Breeder Of Scotch Fancy.

THE [SECRET] SOCIETY

[The Word Magazine]

LEAP Of [FAITH]

An Urban Legend based on a true story.

She creates her own imaginary figures out of found wrapping paper. Accompanied by a few thrown out tree decorations, she celebrates her special day.
When night falls, the dark shadows creep up on her, showing her with a very intriguing hand puppet show the old memories of what she once knew.

In the loving memory of J.D.

Fish[Think]Tank - DeadEnd

What if your only way out is a dead end?

Images for an article about prisoner movies. These weird subgenre of horror, more psychological movies.

Piñata's are fun, aren't they?

[EMPTY] SPACES

Project about loniless disorder.

"We got these tiny love spaces that we need to fill. Filling up tiny love spaces. Getting lost inside of insatiable mazes. Looking for heroes in worn- out faces. Looking for a great big love in tiny places..." -Jewel-
