carol’s in the news again! We currently have 3 of Carol’s exquisite silverpoint pieces in the current show. Come in and check them out! Read the article below translated from the Review Nuevo Herald:

First paragraph:
Carol Prusa finds art that blends beauty of the Renaissance notion drawn from the contemplation of nature – the anatomy of the bodies, the symmetry of the plants, the ratios or patterns of stellar forms – with an imago mundi (world image) that connects the realm of modern science to a poetic vision.

Fifth paragraph, last sentence:
Prusa intensifies the contemplation of natural beauty – and the mediation on philosophical and ethical implications – not so much through the discovery of perspective, such as close-ups that can delight in the smallest veins, networks of spores or tissue of the petals; but also installing domes and spherical bodies that duplicate in their entirety the planetary cosmos.

Sixth paragraph, first sentence:
From the wonder caused by the fine structure of a rose or the music of the spheres that she suggests with points of light rhythmically programmed into domes, the human being regains a sense of wonder forgotten in contemporary vertigo.

Last paragraph:
The complex process with which she paints her domes, coating them with layers and layers of plaster, silver point drawings, detailed lines, a bath of graphite, white paint applied with a brush and a thin fiber optic cable incorporated with sequencing programming, is correlated with the intricate web of physical, philosophical and metaphysical allusions each work contains. But at the same time, to contemplate each dome provokes the only silence of beauty that moves [i.e., moves us emotionally].
