About John Currin

John Currin is an American painter based in New York City. He is most recognized for his satirical figurative paintings that explore controversial sexual and societal topics. His work shows a wide range of influences, including the Renaissance, popular culture magazines, and contemporary fashion models. He often distorts or exaggerates the erotic forms of the female body, and has stressed that his characters are reflections of himself rather than inspired by real people.
