Glen Curtin

Visual Artist
Ōtautahi Christchurch

Christchurch-based artist Glen Curtin draws inspiration from architecture, mid-century design, and the vibrant energy of surf culture. Working primarily with spray paint on birch ply, his paintings are defined by their clean lines, bold colour contrasts, and precise geometric compositions - all while allowing the subtle wood grain to shine through.

Glen’s work bridges structure and play, reflecting both his love of modernist form and the freedom of coastal living. The result is art that feels fresh, distinctive, and deeply connected to Aotearoa’s creative and cultural landscape.
