John Currin is a figurative painter influenced by Renaissance oil paintings, contemporary culture, politics, and women's magazines.
He creates parodies of our sex-obsessed culture through distortion of the human figure. Main themes include pornographic eroticism and manipulation. Often his portraits appear satirical, kitschy, and humorous. Over time his works have gotten much more explicitly erotic.
