Opening next week....

Ruby Neri
"This is me, is that you?"
David Kordansky Gallery... see gallery here...

"Suggestive social groupings of men and women alongside or riding on horses, stand and sit naked—not nude; the figures are confrontational in pose and spirit. They recall Greek Kouroi, sculptures of unclothed young men striding forward. They are defiant and proud as active subjects, not passive artists' models. This energy is heightened by Neri's delight and involvement in an intuitive act of making. Handfuls of plaster added to an armature and built up over time are evident in the larger sculptures, which she also carves away in some places, a process that provides the figures with their own strong physical materiality. Some of the ceramic figures are composed of limbs made entirely of thrown pots, a witty reference to and use of traditional ceramics, here renewed as the form and material of contemporary art and life. "
