Through his paintings, Gregory Curry creates a world that has been expanded, contracted, manufactured, reworked and jettisoned. The organisms in Curry's world are refugees, assassins, congregations of similar organisms and menacing loners whose purposes are much clearer than their scale or surroundings. Their behavior exposes their existential struggle. Curry utilizes familiar modes of representation: rendering, classic spatial relationships and perspective to familiarize these forms in spite of the taxonomic meltdown they are undergoing. Gregory Curry was the recipient of a Francis Criss Purchase Award.
