Ken Currie studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1978 to 1983. His early work was in a social realist vein, much influenced by the mural paintings of Leger and Rivera. He has subsequently moved through a period of painting apocalyptic and grotesque imagery into a kind of 'figurative minimalism'.
These works, from his middle period, were influenced by Goya's etchings. They explore themes much associated with the changing political landscape of the 1980s and 1990s.
