“The disparate sources from which it was synthesized allows it to be deployed in painting, drawing, sculpture, and rooms. In turn, his language demands the same flexibility of the world it inhabits. If one is searching for meaning in the work, it can be found here, where there is give and take and give again, and in the affection of humility with which he treats its components.”

Dan Nadel in “AARON CURRY”, page 106, Hatje Cantz, 2019.

Bypassing New York meant not living there but also not being “New York”, which is to say, being free of linear hang-ups. Discussing his personal cultural stew in a 2016 interview with Artspace, Curry remembers: ”I’ve gone through a Rauschenberg phase where I was just obsessed with the early works and a lot of cardboard pieces. I’ve gone through an Arp phase, and Picasso of course – a lot of Surrealism. I’m kind of a junkie – I really like art. Like, I love it. I’m all over the place, but I definitely think that those Chicago artists had a huge impact on me, because it somehow related to where I was coming from – skateboard graphics and things. There was a graphic quality to it that was easy for me to pick up on.”
