Al Runt
Artist Biography
For over 40 years, Al “Runt” Currie has been an iconic fixture in Canada’s art scene, with impressive works displayed both at home and internationally. His works are vibrant, colourful, abstract and fun, full of life and imagination, and accessible by people of all ages and cultures. Informed by a wide range of influences from Hieronymus Bosch to Dr. Seuss, Runt has carved a career as one of Canada’s singular visionaries on par with 80’s icons Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf.
A 2015 documentary film, directed by Argentina’s Augusto Monk, focuses on Runt’s work and career.
