Russian literary theorist Mikhail Bakhtin (1895–1975) used the mathematics term “chronotope” to describe literature. Douglas Prince has borrowed this concept for art. Through his travels, Douglas has realized that creative works are broadly a result of time and place. This inescapable providence influences creators more than is often acknowledged. Bound to this fate, Douglas’s goal is not focused on paths outside of these trappings but to acknowledge and explore them.

Born in Flint, Michigan Douglas lives and paints in, Germany, not too far from where his great, great Grandfather, Authur Hutschenreuther was a painter in the 19th century.
