Ken Currie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ken Currie (born 1960, North Shields, England) is a Scottish painter, one of the most influential living artists in Scotland. His paintings are displayed in public and museum collections worldwide.
Currie's paintings are concerned with how the human body is affected by illness, ageing and physical injury, social and political issues or philosophical questions.
He was labeled as one of the New Glasgow Boys along with Peter Howson, Adrian Wisniewski and the late Steven Campbell who studied together at the Glasgow School of Art. His Glasgow History Mural was commissioned on the 200th anniversary of the Calton weavers Massacre in 1987 and is displayed on the ceiling of the People's Palace.[1]
