Jacqui Cunningham

Jacqui Cunningham is a contemporary visual artist whose work explores the intersection of memory, identity, and place through a multidisciplinary practice. Born and raised in Manchester, England, she draws inspiration from the rich cultural tapestry of her hometown, infusing her paintings, sculptures, and mixed-media installations with both personal narratives and universal themes. After earning her fine arts degree from Central Saint Martins, Cunningham has exhibited widely across the UK and Europe, gaining recognition for her evocative use of color and texture.

Her work often investigates the boundaries between abstraction and representation, inviting viewers to engage emotionally and intellectually with the stories her pieces evoke. Cunningham’s art has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including at the Tate Liverpool and the Saatchi Gallery, and her pieces are held in several private and public collections. In addition to her studio practice, she is an active educator and advocate for community arts initiatives, committed to fostering creative expression in people of all ages and backgrounds.
