'Saint Moritz' is a project Tony Kelly has been inspired to do for a while now. The snowy mountains of St. Moritz are the backdrop to several of the artist's works.
But this one is quite different since its subject is the high alpine monasteries and churches of religious orders that were the early settlers in the mountains rather than the high society frequenting the famous Ski-resort. The work is inspired by historical images that Kelly found of nuns skiing in the Scandinavian mountains and paintings of monks on skis at St Bernard Pass. A James Bond-like mystique is attached to these incredible outposts that have offered shelter and warmth to many weary travelers for centuries. Even Napoleon himself was given two glasses of wine and some bread by the Great Saint Bernard hospice monks when he arrived there in 1800. For many, the most symbolic aspect of a mountain is the peak because it is believed that it is closest to heaven or other religious realms, which drew these brave men to the Alpine. This piece is the first of a new series by Tony Kelly, celebrating the men and women of the cloth whose lives are devoted to their faith and often, in today's lightning-fast society, are forgotten.
Tony Kelly is one of the most influential fine art photographers of our time. He plays with humor and provocation, and although highly polished, his work is playfully subversive, which forces you to stop and think, inviting us to venture beneath the glossy veneer and confront stereotypes, taboos, and role reversals.
"My aesthetic is fun, colourful, vibrant and sexy. In terms of maintaining authorship, it's a very natural process. If you're true to yourself and your ideas, the rest takes care of itself. My work is a reflection of who I am, it's a reflection of myself. "Tony Kelly always delivers a dash of self-irony to the naked skin and tells a story.

Tony Kelly
Luxurious Louboutins, luscious turquoise waterscapes, and a hefty dosage of naked skin – with his cinematic style, star photographer Tony Kelly combines the luxury aesthetic with vibrant colors and a shot of humor. Although highly polished and always with a glossy finish, his works are playfully subversive and invite us to venture beneath the sleek veneer. Uniting self-obsession and self-irony within a single frame, Kelly celebrates and breaks with the status symbols of our day and age. Always seeking to tell a story, the Irish star photographer presents ever-new twists and turns, making his visual tales as complex as our modern era.
