Ken Currie was born in North Shields in 1960. He studied Social Science at Paisley College of Technology, followed by Fine Art at Glasgow School of ArtDegree from 1978-83.
Currie's work contains three broad, inter-related areas: a group of paintings concerned with how the human body is affected by illness, ageing and physical injury; a group of works exploring social and political issues and finally a set of more elusive images speculating on abstract or philosophical questions. Many of the paintings at first appear impenetrable, but it is their ambiguity that gives them their power.
Ken has exhibited widely and his work is included in many collections throughout the world. He lives and works in Glasgow.
