CURTIS KULIG

Curtis Kulig lives and works in New York City.
A decade ago, his private plea 'Love Me' became part of the urban fabric of the city. A loyal audience ensued embracing the declaration with hope and optimism. His studio practice consists of paintings and drawings, often done in series, which explore emotional landscapes and vulnerabilities.

His drawings and paintings have been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and Vanity Fair. Kulig’s work exhibited in NYC includes Shin Gallery, Mallick Williams, Cassina Projects, Nyehaus Gallery, Cheryl Hazan Gallery, The Hole; in L.A. at New Image Art & Subliminal Projects; and in London at Rook and Raven & Stolen Spaces. `

Loud Money
A new monograph by Curtis Kulig and Max Blagg published by Paradigm Press.
NYC-based artist Curtis Kulig and poet Max Blagg are set to release LOUD MONEY, a publication featuring a series of collaborative new work.
What began as a hot tea of inspiration between these Downtown neighbors, the zine/Zen assembling of various random images, paintings, poem fragments, correspondence, photographs,
and dressings, quickly acquired artist coherence. Originally slate for release in the Spring of 2019, the arrival of the pandemic and lockdown delays this vigorous experiment.
The original intention of a rapid-fire zine has evolved into the production by Paradigm Publishing, a NYC-based independent publisher, of an exquisite, offset printed clothbound 104-page full-color monograph.
A seamless harmonic convergence between artist and poet, blending Kulig’s elegant visual vernacular with Blagg’s singular poetic expression, and further embellished by a brilliant Afterword and ringside commentary by renowned artist Jamie Nares.

LOUD MONEY was released May 1, 2021.
To commemorate LOUD MONEY’s release, the authors are hosting book signings and readings at various locations around NYC including the Bowery Hotel.
