Biography

Translating personal experience into broader political statements, Pruitt’s work is eclectic, often striving to achieve a sense of social, cultural, or artistic critique.

Pruitt is critical towards the fabrics of contemporary society and by constantly referring to world crises, he delivers caustic portraits of present-day politics. Like Honoré Daumier, he caricatures contemporaneity and pushes the limits of convention further.
