City Guy. Painting on Paper & 70 Limited Edition Prints
City Guy is a large portrait of a man in profile, wearing a light-coloured fedora with a fancy band.
His jacket is a pastel-coloured check overlaid with Doug’s signature grid, complementing the stylised cityscape that surrounds him.
He wears a confident grin, and his posture suggests he is leaning forward in greeting, or perhaps simply moving with the pace of city life.
The skyscrapers around him are built from geometric layers, some reduced to abstract blocks, their colours limited yet vibrant.
This surreal architecture wraps around him, giving him not just a setting, but an urban identity shaped by the world itself.
*Artist Doug Kemp with ‘City Guy’ limited edition artist print
He appears smooth, self-assured, and unmistakably a City Guy, both an inhabitant of the metropolis and an embodiment of it.
The work becomes more than a portrait of a smiling man in a city; it feels like the city itself has learned how to smile.
