Artist Statement
Rob Pruitt: “Since I bought an iPhone it is like having a second brain in my pocket. I can seize my visual impulses and it's very satisfying.”
Born 1964 in Washington, D.C., the artist lives and works in New York. Pruitt has participated in more than fifty groups shows, and has had solo exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, London, Venice, and Cologne. In 2008 Pruitt was Master Artist-in-Residence at the Atlantic Center For The Arts at New Smyrna Beach, Florida. He has recently completed a new series of paintings as a commission for St Jude's Hospital.
At Power House Memphis he is exhibiting a large selection of new digital prints photographed on his iPhone and made in Memphis.
