Open LibraryAbout this book
Currin is an extremely talented painter who is most well known for his portraits and his often risqué figurative scenes interpreted with ironic realism. Within his work, Currin searches for and creates paradoxes ? between real and fake, contemplation and voyeurism, obscene and refined, and photographic truth and figurative imagination. The artist paints with deliberate honesty and studied frankness, casting aside any academic nostalgia and ideological dislike of figurative painting. Never unpleasant, revolting and never predictable, Currin takes on different genres and styles, choosing and alternating different themes and modes, such as portraiture, still life, the obscene and indecent, the lyrical and sentimental. 00Exhibition: Museo Stefano Bardini, Florence, Italy (13.06.-02.10.2016).
