Collection: Lula Ruby
It would be an understatement to claim that Lula Ruby’s work is a clear reflection of politics or living in this current day and age. Their relatability and sincerity bridges mind gaps between artist and viewer to purposefully engage the work with a collective experience. Her bodies of work are known to mimic the histories of art, activism, contemporary life, or social awareness. Ruby is not-bashful in her attempts to elicit beauty within her paintings—which vary from abstract to figurative.
The use of both abstract and figurative imagery is not only a nod to the history of art but a purposeful reference to the haziness of memory. Ruby’s work functions as a self-exploration of time and space, childhood influences, and impactful imagery. Despite their ability to relate to the viewer almost instantly, these works are fundamentally personal. The connections create a relatable new memory and stamp a profound statement concerning human experience and with an emphasis on the common symbolisms we share.
