John Currin — Woman with child
John Currin

Woman with child

1994

A delicate yet unsettling ink drawing by John Currin depicting a woman and child rendered in his characteristically precise and provocative figurative style. Currin's masterful linework balances technical virtuosity with an eerie, distorted sensibility, infusing the intimate subject of motherhood with an underlying tension. The work on paper showcases his ability to evoke classical portraiture while subtly subverting its conventions.
