About the Item
Football by American artist Holland Cunningham (b. 1967) captures the intensity and fleeting drama of a match moment, distilling the energy of sport into a painterly meditation on movement and memory. A group of young players, caught mid-action on the field, are rendered with a looseness that emphasises gesture and atmosphere over precise detail.
As in much of Cunningham’s practice, the painting blurs the line between figuration and abstraction, using bold colour contrasts — the sharp orange of a jersey against the green of the pitch — to heighten the sense of immediacy. The scene feels both specific and universal, evoking childhood memories of team sports, competition, and camaraderie.
Cunningham’s work often transforms personal or collective recollections into painterly images that linger somewhere between the real and the dreamlike. In Football, the game becomes more than sport: it is a metaphor for the intensity of fleeting moments, suspended in time.

Holland Cunningham
Holland B. Cunningham was born in Roanoke, Virginia in 1967 and educated at the University of Virginia where she studied art history and studio art. She continued her studies at the Art Students League and National Academy of Art and Design. She was a resident at the Bau Institute in Puglia, Italy the summer of 2012. She currently resides and works in New York City. She uses various materials to create her work such as oil, water-based media, photography and animation. Her most recent work is an assortment of mixed media/oil paintings and installations in which she uses found photography as a starting point. She is an avid collector of discarded photography that she sees not as images frozen in time, but as something that is still happening. She is a spectator as well as the protagonist and player in the scene or moment captured.
