He received his BA from Texas Southern University (2000) and an MFA from the University of Texas at Austin (2003). Pruitt works in a variety of materials, with the focus of his practice centered on rendering large scale figurative portraits. He projects onto his images a juxtaposing series of experiences and material references, denoting a diverse and radical Black past, present and future. Pruitt often utilizes religion, spirituality, signs and symbolic objects throughout his work as a means of exploring a Black American conception of transcendence and mythology. Pruitt’s work is in numerous public collections, including Dallas Museum of Art, Texas; Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, Massachusetts; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas; Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina; Portland Museum of Art, Maine; Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, Texas; and Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond, among others.
