This week I’m speaking to the wonderful Nicholas Currie who is an artist, performer and writer! Pre lockdown I spotted nick around VCA and then saw his work on insta and I was hooked!  It was really insightful talking to Nick, he was very open and frank and also made me laugh a lot. He has an upcoming show at black dot, but with covid the dates are unsure so PLEASE go follow him so you get to see his amazing work. 

Nicholas Curries' practice is autobiographical and introspective to his cultural identity as a mixed Indigenous and Anglo Saxon Australian man in contemporary society.  Curries work are large nonfigurative works based on gestural movements of the body used in dance, manual labour and sport. Curries figurative work is a mixture of blak masculine family imagery and still life’s.  Currie uses visual language in his paintings to tell stories and invoke conversations on how who we are.
