About: Sterling Ruby (b. January 21, 1972) is an American artist known for his diverse practice, including ceramics, painting, sculpture, video, and textiles, often presented in dense, large-scale installations. His work draws from a wide range of influences, such as aberrant psychologies, urban gangs, hip-hop culture, punk, masculinity, violence, and themes of globalization and American decline. Rejecting minimalism, Ruby's art often appears raw, defaced, or splattered, reflecting his fascination with graffiti and public art. Praised by The New York Times as one of the most compelling artists of his generation, Ruby explores the tension between individual expression and social constraints. He lives and works in Los Angeles.
