reCovered: Parsons Illustration Alumnus Garrett Pruter’s work featured in group show.
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 30th from 6-8 p.m., and the show is up until August 21st.
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.”
