His work aims to challenge preconceptions around the representation of groups of people 'other' to the Western European norm and anyone who went to art school, drank white wine at 10am every morning while he was forced to study industrial engineering by his parents. Kelvin Did not finish his engineering degree.

" Dead Celebrity 1" is about dead celebrities who made great art and very questionable if not disgusting private acts.
