Deborah Pruden

 

ARTIST STATEMENT

Pruden's work bursts with vitality expressed in strong geometric structures. The classical composition present in her work serves as an excuse to let the pleasure of the act of painting take over.

With this hedonism of firm strokes, she points out and denies the borders of both the frame of the painting and the classificatory labels of art history, while maintaining a connection of freedom and humor, which is the hallmark of her work.
