Rebecca Cuming Untitled, Oil on Canvas

There are so many things about this painting that make it so wonderful. At 11 1/2 inches by 9 1/2 inches, this is a small painting, but only in size. The detail of the dozens of subjects buzzing and whirring about and coming together to create a little planet of life is remarkable. The color palette is surprisingly robust and comes alive the more you delve into the world Rebecca Cuming has created. And this piece was in the collection of legendary gallerist Allan Stone.
