Rob Pruit at Gavin Brown

October 27, 2010 by ArtJetSet

Rob Pruit’s super pop show at Gavin Brown Enterprise is a fun must see show. Pruit’s self portrait montages give homage to great artists and personalities including Andy Warhol, Magritte, and many others. Love the silver painted chairs and the piles of tires as sweet bowls.

March 20, 2009 by ArtJetSet
