The Art of Warren Curry

Warren Curry was born in Yarram in country Victoria, Australia.  He studied painting and sculpture at the City and Guilds School of Art London, and drawing at the Byam Shaw Art School, London.

In 1971 while on vacation from art school Warren, accompanied by two fellow students, went on a painting trip to Greece.  His love of Greece was further enhanced when in 1981 he won a Travel Study Grant and was to spend three months painting in the village of Liapades on Corfu.  Returning to Corfu in 1998 he spent two months painting in the village of Pelekas.

During his stay in Pelekas, Warren finalised arrangements to bring other Australian artists to Corfu.  Now in its forth year of operation the Art Tours provide artists with the opportunity to enjoy the dramatic scenery, wonderful villages and colourful traditions of this island paradise. Warren has now bought a house in Pelekas and spends part of every year painting there.

Warren has held seventeen Solo Exhibitions in Australia and won over thirty major art awards.  His work is represented in Australian Government (Art Bank) Regional Collections, Corporate and overseas collections.  In Australia, he works from his studio located in the small fishing village of Port Albert in South Gippsland, east of Melbourne.
