Working primarily in sculpture and installation, Blue Curry uses an idiosyncratic language of commonplace objects and found materials to engage with themes of exoticism, tourism and consumption. The formal elegance of his works is often at odds with the commonplace objects  and unsophisticated techniques used to create them. Disrupting the mythic components of clichéd fantasies, he takes viewers to a seductively familiar destination but denies them the simple consumption they desire. Curry’s objects are guaranteed to encounter Western expectations of Caribbean art. They play with tropical imagery, they are true to their local and Bahamian provenance, but they are not intended for an audience that consumes tropicana. Blue Curry was born in Nassau, the Bahamas. He trained as a photographer at the University of Westminster before completing his MFA at Goldsmiths in 2009. He currently lives and works in London.
