About Wayne Pruse
Biography
Wayne Pruse makes paintings and sculptures. Pruse tries to increase the dynamic between audience and author by objectifying emotions and investigating the duality that develops through different interpretations.
His paintings never shows the complete structure. This results in the fact that the artist can easily imagine an own interpretation without being hindered by the historical reality. By demonstrating the omnipresent lingering of a ‘corporate world’, he uses a visual vocabulary that addresses many different social and political issues. The work incorporates time as well as space – a fictional and experiential universe that only emerges bit by bit.
His works demonstrate how life extends beyond its own subjective limits and often tells a story. It challenges the binaries we continually reconstruct between Self and Other. By merging several seemingly incompatible worlds into a new universe, his works references post-colonial theory as well as the avant-garde or the post-modern and the left-wing democratic movement as a form of resistance against the logic of the capitalist market system.
His works bear strong political and spiritual references. The possibility or the dream of the annulment of a (historically or socially) fixed identity is a constant focal point. Wayne Pruse currently lives and works in Bismarck.
