John Currin

by Kara Vander Weg, John Currin, Norman Bryson, Alison Gingeras

An exploration of a leading figurative painter whose style blends Renaissance influences with mid-twentieth-century illustrations. Characterised by unorthodox palettes and baroque gestures, these works invite viewers to challenge traditional painting conventions.
