Sterling Ruby (b.1972) is an American artist who lives and works in Los Angeles. He is a multi-disciplinary artist who has become known for his richly glazed biomorphic ceramics, large-scale spray-painted canvases, poured urethane sculptures, various forms of collage, and video work. He takes his subject matter from a wide range of sources, including marginalized societies, maximum security prisons, modernist architecture, artefacts and antiquities, graffiti, the mechanics of warfare, and urban gangs. His work has often been cited as invoking minimalism as a means to expose underlying systems and social power structures. This exhibition catalogue shows eleven of his spray paintings on canvas all done in 2010.
