John Currin.

As I've looked at quite a few photographers for this exhibition I thought I'd look at another painter. John Currin has previous looked at the model and shown them as they would in magazine, but with the not so subtle symbolism of  cut out heart in 'heartless' and the walking stick in 'the cripple'. he would always elongate the neck making the person look like a characterture and appear on nature, which would unnerve the viewer, making you unsure of the person in the paintings true feelings and emotions. this could add another  element to my exhibition, looking at the model as well as the clothes and questioning how we depict women in the fashion industry.
