Being an artist represents autonomy.
The American artist Sterling Ruby works in a large variety of media including ceramics, painting, drawing, collage, sculpture and video. Proclaimed as one of the most interesting artists to emerge in the twentieth century, and recently as Calvin Klein’s latest muse, Ruby’s work examines the psychological space where individual expression confronts social constraint. MIX PIZ is the title of his show at the Vito Schnabel Gallery in St. Moritz, Switzerland, that runs from March 12 to April 16.
