Quentin Curry (b. 1972, Johnstown, PA) is a contemporary artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, and photography. He studied at Bard College and the San Francisco Art Institute before living and working in New York City for over a decade. Curry’s work emphasizes materiality, surface, and process, drawing from both natural and cultural influences. His art explores time, consciousness, and human experience, examining how these elements shape our understanding of the world. With a focus on both tangible and intangible dimensions of life, Curry’s practice often blurs the boundaries between the organic and artificial.
Curry’s sculptural works, particularly his rock-like forms, create a dynamic tension between primitivism and industrial pragmatism. These pieces merge organic shapes with mechanical structure, reflecting his interest in how human intervention reshapes the natural environment. By blending nature’s inherent forms with manufactured elements, Curry’s sculptures evoke both primal and contemporary sensibilities, inviting reflection on the evolving relationship between nature and industry.
Curry’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, with solo exhibitions in New York and Los Angeles and participation in the Second Biennial of the Canary Islands in Spain. His work is held in prominent private collections, including the Hort and Saatchi collections.
