Born in 1962 in Boulder, Colombo, USA.
He was a YALE-educated young man in 1986 and a person strongly engaged with life and art.
His satirical figurative paintings are influenced by Renaissance paintings and inspired by Parmigianino and Francis Picabia.
He made his sucess by challenging core beliefs of post war avant-garde American Art.
He is an artist fundamentally alluring with a commitment to the aesthetics of excess.
Currin trademark is the precision surrealism, he paints burgeois subjects in a grotesque way, and sometimes provocative, even pornographic.
Very sophisticated, his art places him as one of the best young painters of his generation.
He is married with Rachel Feinstein. She is the wife, the muse and has a profond effect on his art.
His work can be called misanthropic, kitsch or repelent but the fact is that John Currin is one of the most expensive living painters and every exhibition is a great sucess.
