Born in Staffordshire of Irish parents, Currie attended Newcastle-under-Lyme and Hanley Schools of Art and the Royal College of Art. After a working as a ceramic artist and a period of teaching in Bristol, he became an art inspector in Dublin before he moved to London in 1910. He gave up his teaching in order to enrol for the Slade School, where he formed numerous friendships with other young artists. Some of them, known as the Coster Gang, appear in Currie’s 1912 painting 'Some Later Primitives and Mme. Tisceron' (City Museum and Art Gallery at Stoke-on-Trent) which shows Currie, Gertler, Nevinson, Wadsworth and Allinson with the proprietor of their favourite haunt, the Petit Savoyard club in Soho. In 1912 Currie exhibited with the Friday Club, and in the summer and winter exhibitions of the New English Art Club.
