Time to write something in New Year. I have just visited new John Currin's exhibition at Gagosian Gallery, NYC. I remember the first time I saw his paintings at Metropolitan Museum 3 years ago and I totally fell in love with his art. Perfect mixture of 19th Rossetti female image and modern touch of Park Avenue decadence. Now, I was a little bit surprised...A lot of sexual "hard-core" connotations, literalism. What I really found touching was that he decided to show his stuff in the neigborhood which he actually explicitly ridicules. Uptown Manhattan....Still the painting which you see in this note will remain my favourite...I wish he would create more visual narratives of this type...
