Guy Kemper is a painter who often collaborates with master glass blowers and craftspeople to translate his compositions into glass, mosaic, and sculpture, using innovative and ancient techniques. His work resonates with the connection between all things. In the search for love, joy, and beauty, we are all united as one. This quality is evident in his art.
He collaborates with architects, art consultants, hospitals, and civic organizations to design site-specific architectural art installations in glass and mosaic worldwide. Early consultation helps integrate artwork seamlessly into architectural systems, lighting plans, and construction schedules.
The subject of two half-hour documentaries broadcast nationally in the US and Germany, his work has been exhibited and commissioned in Asia, Europe, America, and the Middle East, and featured in over 80 publications worldwide.
Celebrated for their strength and emotional expressiveness, Kemper's projects have won widespread acclaim, including three prestigious CODA international design awards. They are installed on time and on budget. Projects include Chicago O’Hare, Baltimore/Washington, Orlando, Nashville, and St. Pete/Clearwater airports, Mt. Baker rail station in Seattle, and the Catholic Memorial at Ground Zero in New York.
Combining superlative design and craftsmanship, he is active in the corporate, liturgical and public art fields. His large-scale, site-specific, placemaking artworks are integrated into the surrounding architecture, inspired by their particular setting and the local community.
He lives and works on his farm of cliffs, forests, and waterfalls in Kentucky.
