Fred Cuming RA

Fred Cuming studied at Sidcup School of Art from 1945 to 1949, and after completing National Service went on to study at the Royal College of Art, London. Cuming's first solo exhibition was held in 1978 and since then he has exhibited throughout the UK and more recently the USA. In 2001 he was given the honour of being the featured artist in the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition, with an entire gallery within the show dedicated to his work. Cuming was the youngest artist to be elected a Royal Academician in 1974, and his observation and depiction of light and atmosphere have made him one of England's foremost and best-loved contemporary landscape painters.
