Carol Prusa
American, b. 1956
Carol Prusa is a visual artist whose work consists of fiberglass forms, acrylic circles, acrylic hemispheres and spheres ranging from bowl-sized to five feet in diameter, articulated with silverpoint drawing and ground graphite washes heightened with white. These are often punctuated by patterns of light (from fiber topics, internal programmed lights, video or reflections on aluminum leaf).
Merging silverpoint drawing with contemporary strategies, her surfaces create liminal skins between known and unknown worlds. Prusa seeks to express her euphoria when glimpsing the strangeness and vital beauty of what is possible – to give form to thin spaces that evoke the mystery that both surrounds and binds us together.
Carol Prusa exhibits widely in museums and galleries internationally. She has participated in numerous solo and curated exhibitions around the globe, and in 2015 her work was purchased for the permanent collection of the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City.
