As we live in an age of profound excess and abundance, indulgence has become a way of life, not just an occasional frivolity. We indulge our appetites, our egos, our kids and our passions. There’s always something bigger, better or newer seducing our senses and sensibilities. In these paintings Gary Pruner embodies the essence of indulgence in its many forms. By using comfortable everyday objects mixed with symbols of idealism and temptation, his work depicts the alluring chaos that constantly envelops us. We are invited to consider the question; will indulgence lead us to continuing paradise or a path to self-destruction?
