Gagosian is presenting new works by Sterling Ruby at Frieze New York 2024, including four paintings from the TURBINE series (2021–) and a selection of collages from the DRFTRS series (2012–). Incorporating the same materials and namesake mechanism as Ruby’s WIDW paintings (2016–), but also suggesting hurricanes and explosions, fire and conflict, the TURBINE paintings evoke speed and self-destruction, alluding to the Futurists and Russian Constructivism. Ruby again employs formal relationships in response to contemporary problems, pairing them with diverse cultural and historical references. In the DRFTRS series of works on paper, Ruby layers and formally arranges microcosmic and macrocosmic imagery, collaging photographs of spores and plants, particles and stars onto surfaces washed with paint.
