About the artist
Informed by an interdisciplinary practice involving language, drawing, and sculpture, Brian Prugh explores textile in his most recent body of work. Prugh creates his tulle pieces by attaching layers of cut fabric to a wooden frame. Each layer is separated by a thin stripe of wood. The result creates interference (moiré) patterns that change as the viewer changes position.
Prugh studied philosophy from the University of Chicago before receiving his Master's of Art in drawing and painting at the University of Iowa. In 2014, he graduated from the University of Iowa with a Master's of Fine Art. Prugh lives and works in Miami Florida.
Over the last four years, Prugh has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in New York, Chicago, St. Louis, and Iowa City. Recent exhibitions include Party Lines at New York Studio Gallery and Sideshow Nation II: at the Alamo at Sideshow Gallery in Williamsburg.
Prugh has written art criticism for The Miami Rail and Little Village in Iowa City, in addition to having co-founded the Iowa City Arts Review.
