Rob Pruitt #3






Rob Pruitt Is Painting J Brand Jeans, 2014.

"It’s one of those gray, humid days when New York City has yet to decide if it’s quite ready for autumn, but inside Rob Pruitt’s Gowanus studio, which is buzzing with assistants, it feels like endless summer. “Can I get your credit card to go to Home Depot?” one college-age kid asks the post-pop artist while another doodles an obscenity on the plywood worktable that exists just for that purpose. Elsewhere, a young woman is meticulously rearranging the glitter on one of Pruitt’s canvases. And everywhere, his rainbow-flared gradient paintings are stockpiled like taffies in a candy shop. Pruitt’s idol Andy Warhol had his factory; he has a clubhouse.

There is so much stimulation here that it’s not altogether surprising to find Vogue.com Market Editor (and our resident denim expert) Kelly Connor in the studio’s backmost room, standing on a woodblock in a pair of white jeans—J Brand Mid-Rise Skinny Marias, to be exact.

Today, Kelly is test-driving Pruitt’s forthcoming collaboration with J Brand for which the artist has lent the style and technique of his gradient canvases—certainly one of the artist’s trademarks, along with sparkly panda bears—to designer jeans.
