2024 is a year of celebration, marking three decades since Robert’s debut solo exhibition with us - an incredible milestone. Starting his journey in Glasgow in 1949, Kelsey was schooled at the prestigious Glasgow School of Art. Mentored by renowned teachers like David Donaldson, Alexander Goudie, and James Robertson, he then embarked on a journey to mould budding artists as a teacher.
In a turn of events, Kelsey left his teaching career in 1995 to become a full-time painter. His reputation has soared since then, making him one of Scotland’s most sought-after contemporary artists, especially for his breath-taking coastline depictions. Kelsey’s talent lies in his ability to bring his personal experiences to life on canvas. His Scottish landscapes are a riot of colours, with the Scottish islands being a fan favourite. His exquisite use of bright colours and pristine depiction of
sand and water makes his work simply irresistible.
Robert’s paintings are a captivating quest to capture the translucent light around the world. This passion drives him to create diverse paintings where he masterfully captures the varying light effects. Awarded a Diploma of Artist Membership for The Paisley Art Institute in 1998 (P.A.I.), a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in 2009 (FRSA), and serving as the President of Glasgow Art Club, Kelsey’s achievements are inspiring. His stunning work graces the collections of esteemed patrons like the Duke of Bedford, The Fleming Collection, and Paisley Art Gallery
and Museum.

“To reflect on 30 years of a working relationship is a humbling experience. Robert Kelsey has been a constant throughout all our stages of our gallery. My admiration is not only focused on the professional but also the personal. The relationship between my parents and the Kelseys has been a huge influence in my life and has been a guide to navigating the dealer and artist relationship successfully. Robert’s achievement to continue to be one of our most successful artists is a testament to him and we are incredibly grateful to him and to his wife Jean. Thank you, Robert.”
