Aaron Curry on Pablo Picasso | Artists on Art

LACMA’s Artists on Art videos offer insights into works in the museum’s encyclopedic collection that have inspired and informed artists working today. Looking at art through their eyes, we hear directly from artists about works that intrigue them and have fed their own creativity.

For Artists on Art, Aaron Curry speaks on Centaur by Pablo Picasso.

Aaron Curry melds pop culture, surrealism, and modernism, creating a futuristic vision from historical styles of abstract art. His sculptures and paintings—made of wood, metal, fiberglass, or cardboard; silk-screened or spray-painted; often neon-colored and sometimes wonderfully oversized—draw upon familiar forms to suggest another space-time. Solo exhibitions of his work have taken place at CAPC Musée d’Art Contemporain de Bordeaux, France; the Rubell Family Collection, Miami; Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, New York; and the High Museum of Art, Atlanta.
