Is it possible to be a metamorphosis, while the remaining strongly punished at the same time? Series of crayon Robert Pruitt, titled simply "Woman", shows such not possible an existence - is everywhere.
Pruitt portraits of contemporary African-American women enter science fiction, hip-hop, black power in the 1960s, culture of the comic and romantic loyalty to realism. Conjure influences cultural build identity, Pruitt presented female force from inside collide with external forces to create a captivating and fantastic portrait.
Pruitt, who lives and works in Houston, Texas, uses pencils told as their medium of choice, a drawing made of coal and clay material. His wife, based on his friends and members of the community, enters a world of fantasy somewhere between a music video, tutorial of steampunk and exploration of colonial Africa.
While cultural infused portrait painter Mickalene Thomas permeates his subjects with style, Afrofuturism and a cosmic sense of cool permeate portraits of Pruitt, tying the trends of the time for a greater sense of eternity. Although Pruitt women occupy a changing set of times, places, moods and modes, strength in their eyes and their bodies keeps tied to the land under them.
