Fine Art Magazine - March 2018

04 VINCENT KAMP THE LIVES OF OTHERS Subversive f igurative artist VINCENT KAMP has released his second magnif icent collection of canvas editions. Vincent Kamp is not interested in the world that the majority of us see and inhabit on a daily basis. His fascination is with those parts of society that many of us never encounter – the urban subcultures that exist all around us, yet are invisible to us unless we are ourselves a part of them. His world may be an unfamiliar one, but it grips us utterly, drawing us in with its drama, intrigue and undercurrent of danger. His arresting portraits are built on the assumption that society will always identify with rebels and this gritty unseen world, and the spectacular reaction that greeted his first collection last summer demonstrated that there is more than a little truth in this! Alongside this success Vincent has also been awarded ‘Talented Artist of the Year 2017’ by the Talented Art Fair, which makes his first release of 2018 the most exciting yet.
