The new works in ‘Ruby Neri’ push the limits of the ceramic medium that has been at the center of her practice for much of the last decade. The works on view include wall-based ceramic sculptures and a major bronze sculpture, an eight-foot-tall form representing the artist’s first time working with the medium. Related to Neri’s (@rubyroseneri) ongoing interest in the figurative, the narrative thread uniting these works is the full expression of human emotion—pleasure, terror, ambivalence, and joy—and range widely in their renderings of a bawdy feminist life force. As Neri pushes into new material feats and expanded scales, her vision continues to grasp an intimate, celebratory approach to various states of existence and anxieties felt by the crushing demands of our contemporary world. ‘Ruby Neri’ will be on view September 17 through October 22, 2022. Join us for an opening reception on Saturday, September 17 from 6 until 8 PM at our Los Angeles gallery. Image: #RubyNeri, ‘Untitled (Woman and Child in Landscape),’ 2022, ceramic with glaze.
