John Currin: The Dreamers
The Dreamers is from a series of black-and-white prints by John Currin produced in collaboration with Kido Press. Currin combines the beautiful and grotesque in his caricatures of lusty, doe-eyed female figures often portrayed with exaggerated proportions that both enchant and repel. Drawing on a broad range of cultural influences from Renaissance oil paintings to 1950s women’s magazine ads, his work is notable for its mix of technical virtuosity with mash-ups of high and low culture.
