This exhibition will be on view at the Men’s Wellness Center located at 209 SW 4th Avenue in downtown Portland Oregon.

Martha Stewart Ruins Everything! http://brentpruitt.com/artwork/?new New Artwork Posted Online

I’ve posted some new images on the site this afternoon. Most are for an upcoming exhibition, however one that I am very excited about is ‘Martha Stewart Ruins Everything!’. It's a lot of fun, and tends to play with people’s visual cortex.

Martha Stewart Ruins Everything!

This painting is a response to her act of recovering an office chair that had a lovely 1920s French fabric with a stripe of her own design. She must not watch Antique’ Roadshow.
