Adrian Lee Kellard (January 28, 1959 – November 14, 1991) was an American artist known for his woodcuts and sculptures of religious and often homoerotic imagery.
Kellard studied at the State University of New York at Purchase from 1977 to 1980 under the guidance of Uruguayan artists Antonio Frasconi and Judith Bernstein.
Kellard was influenced by an eclectic group of artists including Marsden Hartley, Picasso and Van Gogh.
Kellard often integrated religion into daily life by creating functional art, such as desks, calendars and screens.
Subsequent to Kellard's diagnosis of AIDS in 1987, his work became less overtly religious and angry, and instead he began to use subdued colors and the tone became melancholy and compassionate as seen in The Promise (below right).
