    Rob Pruitt, Untitled (Face), 2016 - Unique Drawing, 12 x 9” - Framed! Rare! Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
    Framed dimensions: 13.5 x 10.5 inches approx.
    This was purchased at the Los Angeles iteration of Rob Pruitt’s Flea Market on February 14, 2016. Rob was selling handmade heart Valentine’s, but he sold out on the first day. He made a series of these drawings at his booth as a little something extra… these also sold out immediately.
    These drawings are based on his gradient face paintings. This one is a beauty framed in orange to match the paper he used. Drawn in black sharpie and professionally framed with OP-3 UV Filtering Plex.
    Gradient paintings:
    “Pruitt has made a variety of paintings with colored gradients. The “Faces” series are scrawled line drawings of features that are then transferred onto gradients and flocked. Reminiscent of emoji, each face has a distinct emotion or personality”.
    Rob Pruitt
    Artist, crafter, and cultural anthropologist - Rob Pruitt navigates the depths and the shallows of the contemporary visual world. His varied projects include painted glittery canvases of panda bears, an eBay Flea Market benefiting various charities, creating the art world's own Hollywood-style awards ceremony, and for the better half of a decade, Instagramming a daily calendar of personal and public events. Pruitt has won many admirers for his use of diverse media and D.I.Y. techniques, which bring an outsider spirit to works that always deliver a message. Over the last 30 years, Pruitt’s influential practice has been met with both critical and popular success.
    His work has been shown internationally since the early 1990’s, at venues including the Tate Modern, Kunstahlle Zürich, MoCA Detroit, and the Aspen Art Museum. In 2011, the Public Art Fund installed Pruitt’s Andy Monument, a chrome-plated, seven-foot-tall statue of Andy Warhol, near Union Square.
