Sterling Ruby — Spatial Facial Diptych
Sterling Ruby

Spatial Facial Diptych

2007

Two large-scale posters serve as the foundation for Ruby's layered collage work, combining fragmented imagery and bold visual elements across a diptych format. The pairing creates a dialogue between the two panels, with collaged materials building a fractured, composite portrait that hovers between abstraction and figuration. Ruby's signature raw energy is present throughout, as the work blurs boundaries between mass-produced imagery and handmade intervention.
