TIMOTHY CUMMINGS

March 19 - 22, 2026

 

 
 

Timothy Cummings was born in New Mexico, where he now lives. He taught himself to paint by copying the masters. Along with his most recent paintings, this is the first time the artist is showing puppets in over 30 years.

While most of Cummings’s paintings are dream-like fantasies filled with myriad detail and discovery, each has a figure or figures. Much of Cummings’s work addresses the issue of youthful turmoil, that awkward moment between childhood and adulthood, of identity, of gender. Meticulously created, each painting suggests a master’s technique with imagery that could only be contemporary, inspired by Renaissance paintings as well as by primitive art.
