Don’t Mean A Thing 65cm x 60cm Acrylic Painting On Paper. Signed artist original from the nightclub series of paintings and prints by Doug Kemp.

This is the original painting that was produced in order to create a maximum of 10 limited edition linocut prints on a different colour scheme (also in the image carrousel) of the same name, a few of which remain in the limited edition artist print store.

Don’t Mean A Thing, a captivating artwork from the Nightclub Singer Mini-Series by Doug Kemp. The background shapes symbolise the stage backdrop of a 1950s nightclub, evoking a sense of vibrant energy.

The central figure is a nightclub singer with long black hair tied up. Her head is tilted in a seductive manner, exuding an aura of sensuality.

The singer is dressed in a strapless black dress. Completing her ensemble, she wears long yellow opera gloves with blue cheetah spots, creating a striking contrast.

The scene transports us to the vibrant nightclubs of the 1950s, capturing the essence of that era’s entertainment and glamour.

About Doug – Doug Kemp was born in 1939 because of wartime evacuation and was raised in Walthamstow in the east end of London.  Doug has a modernist style of fine art which draws reference from personal experience, the USA (New York & Chicago) comic book hero art, pop art, post-industrialist (modern art),  film noir, art deco and gangster movies made in the 1930s & 1940s.

Giclee Artist Prints

Spelt correctly, Giclée is a French word for spray (little sprey!). This is a digital printing process in which a dedicated type of ink-jet printer is used with specialist inks to produce a high quality Art print. As an artist, I feel a Giclée print produces a better finish than other types of modern artist printing formats.

Linocut Artist Prints

A Linocut is a relief print that is produced like a woodcut but uses lino as the surface from which the design is carved as a template used for the printing. In making a Linocut, basically your design uses the raised (uncarved) areas for the different inks to print the same picture over and over.

Silkscreen Print Collection

Creating screen prints – The inks are forced through a mesh screen onto the printed surface. This enables certain areas of the screen template to be made impervious to the printing ink, in effect creating a stencil. The ink that is able to pass through forms the printed image.
