Body Language is an exhibition that delves into themes of physicality, the digital age, and modern social structures. The show focuses on the act of repurposing and recontextualizing the remnants of past imagery, reflecting on how contemporary culture processes and transforms visual language.

Through his graphic artworks, Conal Kelly explores the juxtaposition of surreality and banality in 21st-century life. His work examines the effects, contradictions, and parallels of internet-driven culture—a landscape that can often feel abrasive and disjointed. In particular, body Language offers an introspective look at the impact of contemporary culture on individual identity and expression.

Spanning both graphic art and apparel, the exhibition marks a significant milestone in Kelly’s personal and professional journey, showcasing his creative evolution over the past decade.
