John Currin

I thought that this picture was appropriate due to the fact that Thanksgiving is slowly approaching . What I enjoy about John Currin's art work is that there is so much life behind is work. Each individual in the painting as a different face expression and it allows the painting to be more relatable. The color he uses sets a positive mood and gets the viewer to understand the Thanksgiving story in the painting.

This is a painting by John Currin called Constance tower. This painting was painted in 2009. I like how the painting looks recent yet has an old fashion touch. The woman looks like a boss and is fashionable. The way she is posed in this picture translates to me, that she know her worth and knows she is powerful.

The painting I picked by John Currin, is called Patch and Pearl. I like this painting because it's realistic and also animated at the same time. I like the odd shape of their bodies, that's what stood out to me in this painting. The detail in face and the background is also done really well.

John Currin is an American painter whose work reflects the perversity within the cultures passion for perfection and beauty. His painting are known for satirical references to society's ideal image seen through art, media, advertising, and magazines. I chose one of his recent paintings of Jennifer Lawrence on the cover of vogue. I think its interesting how he was chosen to do a painting for the magazines 125th anniversary.

John Currin seems to be a very eccentric painter. His paintings portrays a lot sexual aspects and visual imperfections that makes him a unique painter. I liked this oil on canvas painting called Hot Pants that was made in 2010. It is interesting because the tones in this painting make them look alive and in action. You can see what the man see's of himself in the mirror, which is a cooler man with pants that make him look hot. Meanwhile he actually looks nerdy.

I chose this painting by John Currin because of the flatness of the woman. Unlike most artist searching for perfection, Currin embraces the  odd aspects of his paintings. They make the painting so interesting. I also like how Currin used such basic colors in this painting, but they all fit perfectly together, creating this funky masterpiece
