Sterling Ruby

Sterling Ruby is a leading contemporary artist whose work has been presented throughout the globe.

In this solo exhibitions are presented more than 70 works showing the origins and the development of his practice focused on material transformation, through mediums ranging from lesser-known drawings and sculptures to his renowned ceramics and paintings.

Since his earliest works, Ruby has investigated the role of the artist as an outsider. Critiquing the structures of modernism and traditional institutions, Ruby addresses the repressed underpinnings of U.S. culture and the coding of power and violence.

Craft is central to his inquiry, and the process of combining disparate elements is central to Ruby’s material reclamations, which serve as a form of autobiographical and cultural archeology.
