“Old School Road,” 2013, acrylic, cut paper and glitter on panel
It takes nerve to make art with glitter. And to create compelling and uncompromising paintings with sparkles and watered down acrylics is a feat of pure fabulousness. Stephanie Pryor has made it her business to be fabulous in her most recent show at Marine Contemporary, and paintings like the perfectly lovely and enigmatic Old School Road are sure to seduce. Though the mood of the painting is peaceful, the bird at the center of the picture plane is oddly confrontational, turning its head behind its body like some perched contortionist to garner a last lingering look in our direction.
