Kenness George Kelly (Fowokan)

Kenness George Kelly (Fowokan) Born Kingston Jamaica, April 1st 1943 Mainly self-taught, "I have been a practising sculptor since 1980. And have been involved with various projects taking African Art into schools around the UK. I have also given talks on African History and Art at a number of educational institutions. In 1987 the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham commissioned me to produce two pieces for the Marcus Garvey Centenary celebrations. One of these pieces is sited in a park named after Marcus Garvey, the other on the house where he lived. The African Peoples Historical Foundation commissioned me in 1988 to produce a piece which now adorns the front of their building in Brixton. My pieces are in collections such as The W. E. B Du Bois Institute at Harvard University, The University of The West Indies, Unilever as well as private collections in various parts of the world
