Keith Cunningham: Sky Studies, Volume II continues the exploration of the artist’s profound engagement with the sky as a site of emotional and visual inquiry. Presenting over 1,500 full-colour reproductions, this second volume spans the early 1990s to the final years of Cunningham’s artistic output, revealing a body of work marked by increasing subtlety, depth and introspection.


These late studies, executed largely in watercolour, demonstrate a distilled, meditative approach. Shifting between luminous washes and stark monochromes, the skies in these works are not just observed but felt – fleeting atmospheres rendered with restraint and sensitivity.


Organised chronologically and captioned with details of date, size and medium, the volume traces a period of sustained focus and refinement, reflecting on Cunningham’s evolving relationship with landscape and light. Sky Studies, Volume II conveys the artist’s enduring curiosity and creative intensity, bringing to the fore a lesser-known but deeply resonant facet of his legacy.
