About The Work
Often drawing on autobiographical, sociological, or art historical sources, the work of unconventional artist Sterling Ruby challenges formality—regarding defacement as a painterly exercise. He has worked in ceramics for over 15 years, translating this attitude into clay works influenced by California craft movement, German "hot lava" vessels from the 1970s, and biomorphic shapes.
