Will Kemp
~ Commissions May be Available (Please Ask)
Will is one of the most
exciting new talents working in the genre of landscape art. His
instinctive and spontaneous approach to landscape painting is
underpinned by classical 17th Century techniques. His vibrant
landscapes have great immediacy and appeal but maintain their
strong connection with the contemporary world. This duality is
achieved via a surprisingly minimalist technique, as Will strives
to encapsulate the form, colour and tone of a subject in a single
brush stroke. This leads to an economy of line and form which
lends each composition a deceptive air of simplicity. Will was
born in Kent in 1977. After completing an art foundation course in
Kent he graduated from the University of Staffordshire with a
BA(Hons) degree in Fine Art. He has always felt drawn to the coast
- from Cornwall for the clarity and quality of the light, to
Scotland for its rawness and untouched beauty. There is a personal
element of nostalgia for him here; his father is a garden designer
and used to create amazing sand sculptures on the beaches around
the Kent coast so Will always has fond memories of the sea. He has
also long had a love affair with the sensuous colours of Italy,
and after graduation travelled for some months on what he
describes as a 'renaissance pilgrimage'.
