Keith Cunningham: Drawings, Volume II continues the series dedicated to the graphic work of one of Britain’s 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 Cunningham’s 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 artist’s 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.

Keith Cunningham (1929–2014) was born in Sydney, Australia. He worked as a graphic designer before moving to London in 1949 where he studied at the Central School of Design (1949–51, now Central Saint Martins) and the Royal College of Art (1952–55). Cunningham continued to paint, but kept his work private, until the end of his life. At the time of his death, his paintings were discovered at his flat in Battersea and debuted in an exhibition at Damien Hirst’s Newport Street Gallery in London, 2022. Dr Laura Scalabrella Spada completed her PhD at University College London in the Department of History of Art in 2020. Her research focuses on early modern European art, with a particular emphasis on the body and its processes, boundaries and relations. She has published papers on politics of corporeality and animation in early modern prints and currently works as an independent researcher.
