Doug Kemp Online Art Gallery

This Online Art Gallery is dedicated to the work of pop-artist Doug Kemp and is a central repository for sixty years of paintings and artwork.

As of Summer 2023, we continue to improve the image quality of the artwork found on this website. Most of the new images can be found in the artist photo gallery.  We continue the process of updating the entire website and hope to return to posting the video interviews as soon as we can.

Please help us share Doug’s work to a wider audience by sharing or liking anything that resonates with you.  Many thanks Luke Kemp

About The Paintings & Prints On This Website

Sometimes there is more than one piece of work with the same or similar title (each usually classified in a different series). Also, when working on a theme, occasionally the original title has been changed to protect the innocent. AKAs abound. This is not as confusing as it sounds – after all, this is a visual medium and seeing is believing. Have a look, make notes and ask!

Prints and The Print shop offer a smooth ride. However, if sufficiently interested in a painting, with a view to buy (no pun intended), just make a request on the contact page to be sent an in-situ. photograph and then to possibly arrange a “live” viewing, if required. Quite a lot of notice will be required to accommodate this, as this will include locating the piece if in storage.

Artwork Sizes

Later paintings (post 2000’s) are pretty much a standard size, approximately 50 x 45 inches / 127 x 115 cm, but some of the sizes of earlier works are goodish guesstimates, as Doug worked in feet and inches (and, from the scale of his works, lots of them) and many works are in not readily accessible storage with no accurate record of exact dimensions.

It should also be be noted that some pieces are not in Doug’s possession and possibly may not actually still be in existence.

giclee print collection doug kemp pop art post modernist popartdoug large optimized

Giclee Art Prints

Spelt correctly, Giclée is a French word for spray (little squirt!). This is a digital printing process in which a dedicated type of ink-jet printer is used with specialist inks to produce a high quality Art print. As an artist, I feel a Giclée print produces a better finish than other types of modern artist printing formats.

Linocut Artist Prints

A Linocut is a relief print that is produced like a woodcut but uses lino as the surface from which the design is carved as a template used for the printing. In making a Linocut, basically your design uses the raised (uncarved) areas for the different inks to print the same picture over and over.

silkscreen print collection doug kemp pop art post modernist popartdoug large optimized

Silkscreen Artist Prints

Creating screen prints – The inks are forced through a mesh screen onto the printed surface. This enables certain areas of the screen template to be made impervious to the printing ink, in effect creating a stencil. The ink that is able to pass through forms the printed image.
