Bryan Cunningham

Bryan Cunningham (b. 1974, Michigan) is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist working across painting, assemblage, sculpture, and taxidermy. His work pulls from the natural world, religious iconography, vintage imagery, and a constantly evolving collection of found and salvaged objects.

Cunningham builds his work from materials that already have a history. Weathered wood, animal forms, discarded objects, painted surfaces, and fragments gathered over time are cut, painted, altered, and assembled into highly detailed works that feel entirely his own. His practice moves freely between two-dimensional and sculptural work, often incorporating taxidermy and other unconventional materials.

Cunningham has exhibited throughout the United States, including at Red Truck Gallery in New Orleans and La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles.
