Alfredo Prior, born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a painter, writer, performer and musician. He lives and works in Buenos Aires where he had his first solo exhibition at the age of 18.
The presence of bears, rabbits, elephants, dogs and other fable animals is pointed out, once and again, among the persisting elements in Prior’s painting, with his Informal Art adscription, meaning that style is yet to be invented. He often says that the only subject in his work is painting itself.

Famous quotes containing the word prior:
“As humans have a prior right to existence over dogs by virtue of being more highly evolved and having a superior consciousness, so women have a prior right to existence over men. The elimination of any male is, therefore, a righteous and good act, an act highly beneficial to women as well as an act of mercy.”
—Valerie Solanas (b. 1940)
