Kit Curry is an artist and illustrator based in Berkshire County, Massachusetts.
Kit Curry’s serenely apocalyptic artwork draws upon those primordial beliefs — animism, witchcraft, the occult —that modernity and so-called enlightenment have failed to entirely exorcise. Kit creates figurative, illustrative drawings and oil paintings in which witches and goblins dance amidst a crumbling world.
Largely self-taught, Kit developed their art skills by studying the work and writings of the great 20th century illustrators, including that of their great great grandfather Harvey Dunn. Kit grew up around Dunn’s paintings, but not the magazine stories they had originally illustrated; now, Kit’s work evokes that mysterious quality of an illustration without its story.
After working in Brooklyn, NY as a production designer for independent animated films, Kit moved to Otis, MA to focus on fine art, and began exhibiting in 2021. Since then, their work has been exhibited at venues such as Arch Enemy Arts, Haven Gallery, and Berkshire Museum.
There's still a part of each of us that trembles in the dark, haunted by ghosts, gods, and spirits. Kit Curry’s artwork serves as a reminder of the mystery, terror, and delight of the strange world we inhabit.
