“Kemp's sculptures open up or are transparent, so that the observer can penetrate the work. Through a seductive play of attraction and repulsion, the viewer and the environment are absorbed into the work and dissolved. The colors are often tempting, deep and at the same time repelling due to their hard sheen. Then it turns out that the interior is not a center, but a passage. "
