Blue Curry

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 a former editor of Art Review.

Curry 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. 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 Art Association, 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 since 2000.
