Untitled 1 (Graphic Abstract Painting on Paper in Peach, Red & Light Orange)
By Jenny Kemp
Located in Hudson, NY
Graphic abstract painting on paper in complementary shades of peach, light orange, and red with details of pale sage green
"Untitled 1" by Jenny Kemp, painted in 2019
gouache on paper, unframed
15 x 11 inches
Signed verso
Jenny Kemp’s abstract paintings are inspired by the artist’s desire to represent unseen phenomenon. With intricate and calculated line-work, the artist builds parallel layers against opaque backgrounds, while shifts in color and shape call attention to organic forms that give reference to the human body or atomic structures. Precise lines seem to vibrate the transitions of color in shades of ruby and blush red complemented by amorphous forms in peach and light orange. Two circles of pale sage green contrast against the areas of red and orange. The drawing is currently unframed, measuring 15 x 11 inches.

Jenny Kemp’s abstract paintings are inspired by the artist’s desire to represent unseen phenomenon. With intricate and calculated line-work, the artist builds parallel layers against opaque backgrounds, while shifts in color and shape call attention to organic forms that give reference to the human body or atomic structures. Precise lines in light green arc over a layer of opaque moss green before colliding with forms of bright red-orange. A serene layer of dark teal complements these contrasting colliding forms, allowing a visual reprieve. The gouache painting on paper is complimented with a light wood frame, protected by non-glare glass. Wire is installed on the back for seamless hanging.

Jenny Kemp’s abstract paintings are inspired by the artist’s desire to represent unseen phenomenon. With intricate and calculated line-work, the artist builds parallel layers against opaque backgrounds, while shifts in color and shape call attention to organic forms that give reference to the human body or atomic structures. Waves of yellow contrasts against earth toned hues of sienna and teal while precise lines seem to vibrate the transitions of color. The abstract painting is part of a series of paintings on linen that can be hung together.

Jenny Kemp’s abstract paintings are inspired by the artist’s desire to represent unseen phenomenon. With intricate and calculated line-work, the artist builds parallel layers against opaque backgrounds, while shifts in color and shape call attention to organic forms that give reference to the human body or atomic structures. Precise lines transitioning from pale blue, grey blue to an earth toned orche and moss green follow elliptical paths over an opaque blue background. The abstract painting is made on linen that is tightly wrapped over a wooden panel. The sides are unpainted, revealing the raw linen.

Untitled 3: Graphic Abstract Painting on Paper in Lime Green, Pear Green & Peach
By Jenny Kemp
Located in Hudson, NY
Graphic abstract painting on paper in complementary shades of lime and pear green with contrasting details of hot peach
"Untitled 3" by Jenny Kemp, painted in 2019
gouache on paper, unframed
15 x 11 inches
Signed verso
Jenny Kemp’s abstract paintings are inspired by the artist’s desire to represent unseen phenomenon. With intricate and calculated line-work, the artist builds parallel layers against opaque backgrounds, while shifts in color and shape call attention to organic forms that give reference to the human body or atomic structures. Precise lines in bright yellow and orange radiantly contrast against the lime and pear green opaque background. Pops of hot peach allow the viewer's eye to travel effortlessly through the abstract composition. The drawing is currently unframed, measuring 15 x 11 inches.

Free Thought (Graphic Abstract Painting in Peach, Raw Siena and Chartreuse)
By Jenny Kemp
Located in Hudson, NY
Graphic abstract painting on linen in contrasting shades of teal, peach, beige and chartreuse
"Free Thought" by Jenny Kemp, painted in 2019
acrylic on linen over panel
14" X 11" unframed
Jenny Kemp’s abstract paintings are inspired by the artist’s desire to represent unseen phenomenon. With intricate and calculated line-work, the artist builds parallel layers against opaque backgrounds, while shifts in color and shape call attention to organic forms that give reference to the human body or atomic structures. A wave of burnt sienna contrasts against pastel hues of peach pink, chartreuse and teal while precise lines seem to vibrate the transitions of color. The abstract painting is part of a series of paintings on linen that can be hung together.
