Crying Woman Collection
A woman’s face in profile is presented with features that suggest the influence of ancient Egyptian art, combined with the bold linework of early Modernism.
Her face and the top of her shoulder-length hair are illuminated from above as she lifts her gaze upward, her hand resting lightly on her neck in a moment of quiet intensity.
A single red, tear-streaked eye, with stylised blue tears running down her cheek, forms the emotional focus of the piece. Rather than immediate personal sorrow, it suggests reflection, contemplation, and perhaps even a subtle religious undertone.
A deep blue background rests above a grey base, divided at neck level by an electrifying diagonal streak of blue light.
This energises the composition without distracting from its emotional weight.

Initially painted as an acrylic on paper, Crying Woman was later transformed into a giclee print, making this powerful image more accessible to a wider audience. In 2024, the design was incorporated into the Doug Pod collection, where it became available on a range of fashion and household items, expanding its reach beyond traditional art forms.
This move into print-on-demand formats has helped introduce Doug Kemp’s work to new audiences across different age groups, allowing more people to experience and connect with the emotional depth and unique style of his art.
