Sterling Ruby — EXHM/DS3
Sterling Ruby

EXHM/DS3

2011

EXHM/DS3 is a striking mixed-media work by Sterling Ruby that combines collage and urethane on cardboard, housed in a frame crafted by the artist himself. Created in 2011, the piece reflects Ruby's signature fusion of raw, industrial materials with bold visual energy, blurring the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and assemblage. The use of cardboard as a support lends the work an intentionally rough, discarded quality that speaks to Ruby's ongoing exploration of waste, excess, and the fringes of consumer culture.
