About

The Team:

Kes Official Art is a team comprising of individual specialists, devoted to blessing you with the very best quality Limited Edition Prints and Original Artworks created by Kester Welch. We believe in quality and work with integrity to ensure our service represents the luxurious investment Kester's art has become. 

The Artist:

Kester Welch is a British Artist based in Somerset, England. He made the transition from enthusiast to professional at 16, after a social media shoutout from Joe Wicks garnered an influx of commissions. Since 2021 Kes has expanded from commissions, establishing himself as an upcoming emerging artist, exhibiting across the country and selling internationally.

He describes himself as a “confident risk-taker” and names Picasso, Goldsworthy and Banksy among his inspirations. The self-taught artist specialises in Oils although believes “our art and our lives should not be limited” thus frequently extends his work to incorporate rogue heavy textures and vibrant colours, where the focus is created by energy and feelings rather than aesthetics.

Artist Statement:

"I am grateful to be able to express the blessings God has given me. On or off the canvas, I am here to create, to inspire.

I am a mark maker and my marks have become more powerful as my faith and confidence have grown.

I am a risk-taker. I throw myself at any hurdle. 

I contrast deep heavy textures with vibrant electric colours. I depict the meaning of the piece through a focus on feelings rather than aesthetics."
