reCovered: Parsons Illustration Alumnus Garrett Pruter’s work featured in group show.

June 28, 2011Exhibitions, Illustration Alumnicollage, frosch&portmann, garrett pruter, parsons illustration alumni, showamt

Parsons Illustration Alumnus Garrett Pruter (’10) is one of five artists featured in the international collage show “reCovered” at frosch&portmann. The opening reception is Thursday, June 30^th from 6-8 p.m., and the show is up until August 21^st.

Collage by Garrett Pruter

“‘reCovered’ brings together artists working with materials originally not intended for painting, gluing or cutting: Magazines, family photographs, shooting practice targets. The artists in the exhibition recombine and reinterpret their original found material and thus create a whole new imagery — a recovered picture.

The works in the show play with the disappearance and fragmentation of the human figure; heads are covered with paint, faces pasted over, whole bodies cut out.”

Parsons Illustration Alumni William Hatch Crosby and Leslie Robertson (both class of ’11) just got back from Copenhagen, Denmark—where they helped Parsons Illustration Faculty Josh Cochran paint a 40-foot-tall mural on the outside of a building!

In addition to being “4 stories of illustration” (-Leslie), the mural serves as promotion for Josh’s solo show at Rumkammerat Gallery, across the street.
