"Meeting his work can be cause for deep introspection - like lighting upon the open pages of a loved one's diary."

Christopher Saines,
Contemporary Australian Art/Catalogue 1987,  travelling exhibition, Japan and Australia


"In the tradition of artists like Kathe Kollwitz, Goya and Picasso, writers like Tolstoy and Hermann Hesse, and humanists like Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., Kelly encourages his audience to reflect on the issue of violence and the possibilities for action against it."

Julia Clinger, The Chautauquan, New York, 1994


"His processes are interrogative, non-judgemental, juxtaposed,  discontinuous. He offers a vast and complex narrative capable of many useful readings: a lively interaction between timeless moral philosophy and contemporary thought."

Jenny Zimmer, for catalogue, of William Kelly's exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, Melbourne, Australia
