Carol Prusa crafts worlds and celestial bodies in her new work, using silverpoint, graphite, and other materials on acrylic. A new show at Bluerider Art in Taipei City, aptly titled “Silverpoint Drawing,” collects her new work. The show runs through July 7.
“Prusa investigates the space between known and unknowable, dissolution and coalescence, using geometry, intricacy and emergent forms to express what it feels like to be alive,” a recent statement says. “(This new series) was inspired by experiencing totality as the moon eclipsed the sun, expressing being caught between day and night. Her worlds, created from erotically charged geometries, distil accounts of the chaotic interactions central to the formation of the universe. (Her) new work brings out the power of dark energy and evolves with new aesthetics.”

The acrylic and mixed-media paintings of Hernan Bas carry a coming-of-age quality, pulling from varying periods. His influences, among several other mediums, have a particular consideration of “the Aesthetic and Decadent writers of the 19th century, in particular Oscar Wilde, Charles Baudelaire and Joris-Karl Huysman,” a statement says. Film, poetry, and art history itself also have an impact on his contemplative works.
