Douglas McCurdy is a self-taught artist based in Brooklyn, New York, originally from Orange County, California. A painter, sculptor, photographer, and musician, he works from what daily life presents to him: what he sees, what he feels, and what he half-remembers.
His paintings are made intuitively. They are guided by instinct rather than plan, and each one finds its form in the making, a conversation between the canvas and himself. Alongside painting, McCurdy has developed conceptual projects in photography and sculpture. Across every medium, the approach is the same: follow his curiosity and see where it goes.
