Label TextGreg Curnoe (1936-1992) used this fluorescent tube lighting in his studio. Throughout his career, Curnoe had three studio spaces across London. Objects from his studios provide a glimpse into the life of the artist, through the things he used to create some of his best-known works.
Curnoe was one of the leaders of the art movement known as "London Regionalism", that developed through the 1950s-1960s and included artists Jack Chambers, Tony Urquhart, Murray Favro, and others. He is known for colourful works that incorporate text, painting, and sculpture and centre around themes of Canadian identity, politics, and popular culture.
