Marketa Kemp is a Melbourne-based printmaker originally hailing from Prague. Kemp’s practice largely surrounds printmaking, interested in the unique features that emerge when producing one-off monoprints. Her prints largely focus on landscapes, capturing the ability for nature to provoke wonder, joy and introspection. Kemp’s practice traces a lifelong love of nature and the journey of an artist devoted to immersing herself in all it has to offer.

The monotype ‘Jawbone reserve XI’ features a serene outlook onto a waterway. Looking out from the shore, Kemp pictures a tranquil coastline with distant islands on the horizon. This print captures a tone of contemplation, encouraging a moment of peaceful reflection by sitting with this landscape. The wild, unruly plants along the shore juxtapose against the undisturbed expanse of the sea, displaying nature’s inability to be truly restrained.

Marketa Kemp has featured in several art prizes, notably being recognised as a finalist in the International Monoprint Prize at Megalo Print Studio, the FPS Australian Monoprint Prize, and the Omnia Art Prize. She is represented by Queenscliff Gallery and PG Galleries in Victoria and Mesh Art Gallery in Chicago.

For collectors of Australian printmaking and lovers of Australian landscapes, Kemp’s ‘Jawbone reserve XI’ is a remarkable find.
