NEW YORK—No doubt Tony Curanaj will surprise you. Regardless of his intensity, he’s not a hit-you-over-the-head kind of artist. He communicates through his astoundingly realistic paintings with incredible subtlety and refinement. Yet he will tell you he paints like a child.
“Children try to draw realistically. They just haven’t developed the motor skills or the ability to be able to do it accurately yet, but their attempt is to represent faithfully what they know,” he said in his studio in Westchester, New York.
