Richard Currier

Currier’s craftsmanship, founded as it is on a long tradition of painting, is rich and varied enough to give body to what his eyes want to see about life in our age. He casts an atmosphere of surging isolation and mystery onto the canvas, making paintings as silent and inscrutable as one’s own image glimpsed in a dark mirror. Currier’s world is very much a private world, and that is what makes him absolutely contemporary.
