Ken Currie deserves credit for breaking through this moribund mood with grotesque new paintings that genuinely nauseate. JONATHAN JONES, The Guardian The subtle and complex artist. DUNCAN MACMILLAN, The Scotsman Author InformationKEN CURRIE studied at the Glasgow School of Art from 1978 to 1983 and rose to attention in the 1980s. He is renowned for his unsettling portrayal of the human figure. The artist’s rich, luminous paintings depict mysterious rites, rituals, and quasi-medical practices, offering a meditation on violence in its many guises. Ken Currie has exhibited widely internationally. Currie’s work is held in many major public collections, including Tate, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, and New York Public Library. DR TOM NORMAND is an art historian specialising in British, and especially Scottish art, photography and culture. He is the author of several books including Ken Currie: Details of a Journey and Scottish Photography: a History.
