Jose-Maria Cundin Exhibition: Opening Reception: Art for Art's Sake

Please join us on October 3rd 2026 from 5pm-7pm for the opening night of Jose-Maria Cundin's Retrospective. Free and open to the public. Light Refreshments will be served. This exhibition will be on view in The Academy Gallery October 3rd - November 14th.

José-Maria Cundin is a painter and sculptor from Getxo in Spain’s Basque Country. Internationally, he is celebrated for his mastery of color, applying his distinctive style across painting, sculpture and printmaking. José-Maria also taught Color & Composition at the Academy in 1983.

"This exhibition documents where Cundin's fearless and unfettered imagination has taken him and points the way to where it may lead him next. We should all be grateful to the Academy Gallery for this glimpse into what a deeply creative life can achieve and how its art can awaken us to a world both stranger and more vivid than the one we had thought we inhabited."
