(Via Vielmetter) Pruitt’s monumental portraits depict bodies draped with exquisite, often surreal adornments, their gaze frequently obscured by layers of carefully arranged textiles, sculptural objects, trailing vines, or gravity-defying swirls of ethereal substances. The works in Corpus consider the interplay between the corporeal substance of the body and the ephemeral concept of the spirit. By overlaying historical relics, elements of the natural world, and representations of the celestial realm onto the surface of the body, Pruitt teases out their material resemblances and skillfully intertwines the earthly with the intangible.
