In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the paintings of Fred Cuming, with buyers seeking out his delicate depictions of colour and light in landscapes and still lifes. His tranquil and atmospheric landscapes and seascapes often capture the changing light and moods of Britain. Cuming's technique, which blends realism with a subtle impressionistic touch, is effective whether portraying a stormy sky or the calm afterglow of sunset.

We are thrilled to offer the following eleven lots from a single owner private collection, showcasing the skill and variety of Cuming. These paintings form a small selection of works that have been acquired by our vendor over many years:

'As a collector of 20th and 21st-century ceramics, paintings and sculpture, it has always been important for me to have a connection with the artist. When I first met Fred and his wife, Audrey, many years ago, I was unaware of Fred's extraordinary talent. From the moment I first saw one of Fred’s paintings, I became captivated. His use of colour and light, the application of paint on canvas, and his spirit, all combined to produce such delicate and sensitive work. Watching Fred paint whilst he reminisced - calling upon his incredible memory, with classical music at full blast - his studio was alive.'
