The 50/50 collection has been a virtual exhibit, a new painting or drawing shared online every day for fifty days leading up to the artist’s 50th birthday. And now the entire collection will be available for private viewing. 

These works are a result of pandemic isolation and inspiration. With a heavy dose of free-spirited children jumping into water, all of the figure paintings and drawings continue Prentiss’s focus on our shared humanity by capturing and celebrating fleeting moments. 

“I hope my paintings act as a reminder that the person we pass on the street or the woman sitting in the cafe all carry a direct link to you, the viewer. We are connected in the most primal, graceful, spectacular ways. 
There is a core space within each of us from which we all come. It’s a space that holds the answer to every question, the purpose for our journey, and the link to every other being. I haven’t yet figured out if recognizing this in ourselves opens the door to seeing it in others, or, conversely, if opening our eyes to this place in others allows us the opportunity to embrace it in ourselves. 
Either way, there is light and love to be discovered. In others and in ourselves...they’re the same, really. By taking the time to see ordinary moments, capture them in a compelling way, and ultimately celebrate them, I hope to inspire the eyes of others to do the same.
Go for that walk. Shop for your groceries. Stand in the space surrounded by conflict. But take a moment to remember this shared space. Whether you see it in yourself or in those around you, find this space and make it your home.”

Prentiss is a painter and writer living with his dog Boone in a little old house in South Austin. His first book, “An All New Light,” was released in 2019.
