College / University: Leeds Metropolitan University 1979-82

Program: BA Hons in Fine Art

Graduation: 9 June 1982

Member type: Artist

If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?: Digital, Drawing, Painting, Printmaking

I am...: Kane Cunningham an artist living in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.

About my artwork: My work considers issues related to the tradition of landscape painting. I believe the landscape painter has a voice in which to express issues related to history, politics and cultural change.
This is important ground in which the artist can express concerns that effect the wider community. The landscape painter is important and should be positioned as such within the wider world of contemporary practice. It is not simply about painting a few trees or a dry stone wall, which in its self is symbol of class division and start of the industrial revolution through the enclosures act.

Artists I like: Picasso, Turner, John Piper, John Hoyland, Waterhouse , Peter Lanyon and Ben Nicholson

Interests: Travel, mountain walking and history

What exhibitions are good at the moment?: Good stuff on in Berlin at the moment, worth a visit.

Centre of the artworld:: Berlin, my studio

Been in Portugal mate - blue skies and blazing sunshine: nice and warm, even got a bit of colour on my face - 'twas a bit of a shock to come home on Saturday night, I can tell you.

I did some painting out there - probably my first on-site plein aire watercolours. And a very interesting experience it was too - even if the results are a bit cruddy - it helped me think through the process, and about possible directions for me to work on. Early days though - I've spent an awful lot of years painting in a studio, so changing is very challenging. I'll send some photos later.

I think I'm going to have to come and visit fairly soon too, if you're still up for it: I've got more watercolour painting kit sorted now, and hopefully more time - though that never seems to quite materialise.

I'm glad you had a good painting session on the beach - and yes, I think I'll always remember those days we had in Whitby's Black Horse!

Catch you soon.
Cheers, Mik

At 6:19pm on 2nd February 2009, Mik Godley said…: What a flatterer! Mind you, you'll have to take some credit Kane, after all our talking and your expert advice on this weird watercolour stuff. Thank you indeed Kane!

At 5:23pm on 27th December 2008, Espen Erichsen said…: Hi kane, that must have been fun meeting hockney. I dont know
what his position is in the uk nowadays but in my opinion he is a
formidable painter, and as for the campaign, onwards etc.

Kind regards

Did you know that there is a watercolour museum on the West Coast of Sweden? Heres a link http://akvarellmuseet.org/english/eng_index.htm

By the way, I saw some recent watercolurs by David Hockney - which I guess would mean that the medium still must have its proponents?

Regards

At 3:51pm on 23rd December 2008, Espen Erichsen said…: Hi Kane, You know i believe its much the same here - the art world does not seem to hold watercolour painting in very high esteem - ts as you said, a maligned medium - which is sad because - granted its a difficult medium - but it can be very rewarding. But how to make it attractive to more artists?
Kind regards, Espen
