Sterling Ruby — Jaw Artist/RWB
Sterling Ruby

Jaw Artist/RWB

Sterling Ruby's *Jaw Artist/RWB* is a ceramic work that embodies the artist's characteristically raw and visceral aesthetic, merging sculptural form with an aggressive visual energy. The piece reflects Ruby's ongoing exploration of materiality and process, with ceramic serving as a vessel for themes of violence, identity, and cultural tension. Bold red, white, and blue tones evoke both patriotic iconography and a sense of unsettling contradiction, hallmarks of Ruby's confrontational artistic vision.
