Blue Curry (b. Nassau, Bahamas, 1974) is an artist living and working in London, UK who works primarily in sculptural assemblage and installation art.

Education and career

Curry is a graduate of the MFA Fine Art program at Goldsmiths College, London where his final show was listed as one of the ten best in the country by the former editor of Art Review magazine.[1] He was selected for inclusion in the Catlin Guide to the 40 important emerging artists in the UK in 2010[2] and listed as one of The Independent newspaper’s ‘Future Art Stars’.[3] He was profiled in a BBC documentary ‘Goldsmiths: But is it Art?’ which charted his progress through art college and his experiences on the London contemporary art scene.[4] Adrian Searle, chief art critic of The Guardian newspaper proposed that Curry's 'swanky electric-blue cement mixer' installation filled with coconut sun cream might be a place for him to stick his head to sooth away his doubts about the 2010 Liverpool Bienniall.[5] In one of his earliest works Curry transported almost a ton of sand to Germany for exhibition and then returned it to the beach it came from in The Bahamas for the group show "Funky Nassau" at The Nassauischer Kunstverein, Germany. He has also shown work at Art Basel Miami Beach, The Art Museum of the Americas, Washington D.C. and The Musée International des Arts Modestes, France. He has work in the collections of The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas, The Principal Art Group and many private collections. He has been a member of the Popop collective of artists from 2000 to present.
