Jane Kelly

Jane Kelly is an artist affiliated with the Stuckist art group in Britain, which is an art movement that started ten years ago in opposition to something. I think they're rebellious. I think they didn't like the pretentiousness of the more established art movements in Britain.

Jane Kelly has been involved in some controversy. A few years ago she was fired from her job at the Daily Mail after she made a controversial painting.

Controversy is a funny thing. What seems controversial to you may not seem controversial to me. Controversy exists mostly because people like to have things to fight about. There's too much manufactured controversy in the world. People get too riled up about things other people say or make. I think as long as no one is getting hurt, everybody should just be free to do whatever they want to do.


She makes a convincing argument.
