“Grim News 1941” acrylic painting on paper captures a significant moment in history.62x62cm (approx) from the 1990s and part of the ‘Heroes & Villain’s Collection‘ by pop artist Doug Kemp.
The painting serves as the original master from which a block for linocuts was created, allowing the image to be recreated in two distinct colour variations. In one rendition, a richer green hue adds intensity to the atmosphere, evoking a sense of urgency and turmoil. The other version takes on a poignant blue tone, symbolising the sombre aftermath and the nation’s collective mourning.
“Grim News 1941” transports us back to a pivotal moment in time. It captures not only the visual aesthetics of the era but also the emotional impact of a historic event that forever altered the course of history. This painting serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and unity that emerged in the face of adversity.

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.
