Keith Cunningham: Drawings, Volume II continues the series dedicated to the graphic work of one of Britains most quietly compelling artists. This second volume presents 1,937 full-colour reproductions of drawings created between the mid-1980s and early 2000s a period marked by increasing refinement and experimentation in Cunninghams practice. These works are published here for the first time, reproduced in high resolution and full colour.
While retaining the emotional intensity and immediacy of his earlier work, these later pieces show a heightened sensitivity to rhythm, space and process. The line becomes more rapid, the compositions more spare, yet no less charged with energy and feeling.
Arranged chronologically and accompanied by details of date, size and medium, the collection traces a crucial phase in the artists ongoing search for expression.
Keith Cunningham: Drawings, Volume II is an essential addition to the unfolding portrait of a singular, overlooked talent whose legacy continues to grow.
