Aaron Curry Biography

Los Angeles-based artist Aaron Curry’s practice oscillates between the mediums of painting and sculpture. Constantly incorporating qualities of one medium into the other, his works challenge the divisions that isolate one medium from another to reveal a richness in the middle ground. His signature totemic sculptures resemble sculptural collages of flat, organically cut shapes. They possess a distinctive 2-dimensional quality and reference a wide range of artistic styles; from the bright colours of Pop and the distorted planes of Cubism, to the biomorphism of Surrealism, they display a bold and intensely saturated visual language that is distinctively his own.

Curry has exhibited his works throughout the US and in Europe, including solo exhibitions at the CAPC Contemporary Art Museum, Bordeaux; the High Museum of Art, Atlanta; Schinkel Pavillon, Berlin; Kestner Gesellschaft, Hannover; Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Bergamo; and Ballroom Marfa, Marfa, TX. Recent group exhibitions include After Picasso: 80 Contemporary Artists, Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, OH; The Los Angeles Project, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing; and Variations: Conversations In and Around Abstract Painting, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angles. The artist’s sculptures featured prominently in Alexander Calder: Form, Balance, Joy, organised by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, which traveled to the Nasher Sculpture Centre, Dallas and Orange County Museum of Art, Newport; and Statuesque, organised by the Public Art Fund at City Hall Park, New York, which also traveled to the Nasher Sculpture Centre. In 2010, Curry was awarded the Guna S. Mundheim Fellowship in the Visual Arts at the American Academy in Berlin. In 2013, Curry presented his most ambitious project to date, Melt to Earth, a site-specific installation of monumental sculptures created for Lincoln Center’s Josie Robertson Plaza in New York City.
