A comprehensive study of one of the most versatile artists and acute
observers of our time, who fuses art and fashion
American artist Sterling Ruby works in a large variety of media,
including sculpture, ceramics, painting, and video art. Ruby is
influenced by a wide range of sources, including marginalized societies,
maximum-security prisons, modernist architecture, artefacts and
antiquities, graffiti, waste and consumption, and urban gangs. Through
these, he examines the psychological space where individual expression
confronts social constraint.
