Franz Kempf is a renowned artist and printmaker. His work reflects a deep involvement with Judaism, as well as a postmodern aesthetic. He is whole-heartedly a humanist, creating work that as art critic Sasha Grishin has written “commemorates the miracle of being and condemns all that is oppressive and coercive”.

‘Untitled (Abstract)’ speaks to Kempf’s harmonising of constancy and flux. It collages forms that are anthropomorphic yet indistinct. Bright, translucent shapes move over them. The work is strange yet holistic, an expression of the infinites moods, stimuli and ideas that constitute life.

Kempf is represented at the National Gallery of Australia. Posthumously, a printmaking prize was erected in his honour. For collectors of important works on paper and humanistic art, ‘Untitled (Abstract)’ is a wondrous find.
