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.
In the 9th edition of the Artist Photo Gallery, viewers can explore the works of Doug Kemp, a pop post-modernist artist, through his acrylic paintings on canvas. The updated photography accentuates the vivid colours and intricate period style of Kemp's pop art, creating a captivating visual experience for those who appreciate art and admire pop art.
True Love - 116 x 127 cm acrylic pop art painting on canvas from the 2000s collection by Doug Kemp.
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.
Weekend Getaway v.2 captures the aftermath of a violent shootout. As the man falls backwards, apparently shot, his accomplice turns to fire while fleeing the scene. Bold colours, exaggerated proportions and lightning-like streaks transform the gunfight into a theatrical moment where violence unfolds like a staged drama.
Born in 1939, Doug-Kemp is the same age as Superman, and has grown up alongside the evolution of comic book art, which has become a medium as inspirational and impactful as classical art and other art forms.
