Doug Kemp Fine Art
Doug Kemp trained at Walthamstow College of Art and graduated from the Royal Academy of Arts in the 1960s.
He went on to hold a Fellowship at Gloucester College of Art and spent over two decades as a senior lecturer at Loughborough College of Art and Design.
His work pulls from personal experience, American culture — especially Chicago — comic books, film noir, gangster films of the 1930s and 40s, and a long thread of art history running back over 2,000 years.
Cath’s Cafe - 48x45’ (122 x 114 cm) acrylic pop art painting on canvas from the 2000s and cars collection by Doug Kemp.
A woman falls headfirst toward the ground, her handbag still clutched in her hand as hair and strap trail behind her in mid-air.
Two startled onlookers react to the sudden drama, one sending his ice cream flying. With a lurking paparazzo ready to capture the moment, Doug turns a slapstick accident into a surreal scene of tension and theatre.
As a new or seasoned art collector, you want to know that your art purchase is special and is of value beyond the intrinsic beauty that drew you to buy the work. Limited edition prints are a great choice, and here’s why:
