“The Flower Cutter Rests on Dust Covered Steps”, Sterling Ruby’s new show at Shinsegae Gallery, on view until November 30th, in Seoul
Sterling Ruby presents a compelling exploration of decay and resilience. The artworks feature monumental ceramics that evoke life’s transience, alongside visceral sculptures that blend beauty with violence. Haunting collages juxtapose floral imagery with darker themes, while explosive paintings channel raw energy, reflecting contemporary turmoil. Each piece invites viewers to engage with the delicate balance between nature and the fragility of civilization, prompting deep reflection on our shared anxieties and the cycles of existence.
