John Currin
John Currin (born 1962) is an American painter based in New York City. He is best known for satirical figurative paintings which deal with provocative sexual and social themes in a technically skillful manner.〔(Kimmelman, Michael, ''With Barbed Wit Aforethought'', The New York Times )〕 His work shows a wide range of influences, including sources as diverse as the Renaissance, popular culture magazines, and contemporary fashion models.〔(Walker Art Center )〕 He often distorts or exaggerates the erotic forms of the female body, and has stressed that his characters are reflections of himself rather than inspired by real people.〔(photography )〕 "His technical skills", Calvin Tomkins has written, "which include elements of Old Master paint application and high-Mannerist composition, have been put to use on some of the most seductive and rivetingly weird figure paintings of our era." ==Early life== Currin was born in Boulder, Colorado, and grew up in Connecticut, the son of a physics professor from Connecticut and a piano teacher from California. In Connecticut he studied painting privately with a renowned and traditionally trained Russian artist from Odessa, Ukraine, Lev Meshberg.〔Tomkins, Calvin, ''Lifting the Veil: Old Masters, pornography, and the work of John Currin'', The New Yorker, January 28, 2008〕 He went to Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where he obtained a BFA in 1984, and received a MFA from Yale University in 1986.
