Kemp was a gifted cellist (he had played with the
City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra before committming himself to
painting) and music provided one of the key ingredients of his art. He
and his wife, Irene Crowther, were one
half of the KERA Quartet, a widely known string quartet. Irene played
with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the
London Symphony.
MOMA Wales have a large collection of paintings by Arthur Kemp and are planning an exhibition of his work in 2010
