"I think painting has to be more – much, much more – than about paint. There has to be a vision and a voice, a feeling that is as much about ideas and emotions as sensual visual experience". KEN CURRIE
 
Recently published by Luath Press Ken Currie: Paintings and Writings provides a unique insight into the thought-world of Ken Currie’s challenging and enigmatic art. For over four decades Currie has created some of the most confrontational and intriguing paintings in the contemporary art world. For the first time Currie has made available his studio journals. The result is a fascinating dialogue that explores the motives and aspirations of his inscrutable paintings.

Compiled and edited by the art historian Tom Normand, this book penetrates the creative imagination of a truly visionary artist.

"Ken Currie belongs in a great and distinctively Scottish imaginative tradition... He is a master of the business of painting, of hand and eye, but he does not stop at that. He uses his command of his means profoundly to comment on the world and cast some illumination in its dark places". DUNCAN MACMILLAN, The Scotsman
