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.
Doug Kemp’s Madam Medusa linocut print, created in 1996, has been selected for Patty Carroll’s new book Domestic Demise & Debacle. This latest Anonymous Women collection explores domestic chaos with a surreal twist.
Art story - 'Angels 2 1933' 45" x 50" inches acrylic painting on canvas by Doug Kemp. This painting is depicting the story of US Gangster John Herbert Dillinger who was an American gangster active during the Great Depression.
Detectives v.2 presents a scene inspired by the visual language of 1940s and 1950s pulp fiction and film noir. Divided into bold narrative panels, the composition centres on a man holding a gun, framed against a stylised cityscape reminiscent of Venetian blinds. A woman in an elegant gown stands apart from the action, her role left deliberately unclear, adding tension and intrigue to the scene.
