One of Curry's greatest strengths is his ability to infuse his paintings with a sense of familiarity, as well as a contemporary edge. A sense of playfulness and whimsy in many of his paintings also lets the viewer feel that they are a part of the story. For example, in his painting “Potato Salad," a Potato head toy holding a fork stands
playfully atop a large salad. This sense of playfulness adds a layer of charm and personality to Curry's work, making it all the more compelling.
