Scottish artist Ken Currie has spent his life being haunted by paintings - artworks that have stayed with him over time, asking to be revisited. We visit him in his Glasgow studio to learn more about his own paintings (provocative, often ‘nightmarish’, filled with dark humour, and always theatrical), and why he believes that artists only do 50% of the work.
Artists in Profile is a series of films that explore the ideas, materials and processes of some of the best-known contemporary artists working today. Filmed in the artists’ studios from Argyll & Bute to Berlin; in train stations, a primary school, the shore of a loch, and the Glasgow Necropolis; these videos aim to give an insight into the spaces where artists create their work, and the places that inspire them.
