Ken Currie

Face of a semi feral child

Ken Currie (1960-) is an English painter, one of the most influential living artists in Scotland. His paintings are displayed in public and museum collections worldwide. Currie's paintings are primarily concerned with how the human body is affected by illness, ageing and physical injury. Closely related to these themes, his work also deals with social and political issues and philosophical questions. Although many of the images dealing with, for example, metaphysical questions do not feature figures, a human presence is nevertheless suggested.
