Ruby Sky Stiler
Mixed-media abstract painting by Ruby Sky Stiler 'Untitled'

2016

About the Item

'Untitled' by abstract artist Ruby Sky Stiler. Foam, acrylic, resin, thermal adhesive, 44 x 34 in. This work reflects a meticulous process of cutting and assembling foam pieces into a layered composition that reinterprets historical aesthetics through a contemporary lens, blending traditional motifs with modern techniques. RUBY SKY STILER (b. 1979) is an American contemporary artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Her mixed-media work explores themes of art history, femininity, and materiality. Drawing from her background as a printmaker, Stiler deftly navigates the tension between flatness and three-dimensionality, skillfully interweaving content with craft. Her process involves meticulously cutting and assembling pieces of foam, fitting them together like a complex puzzle. The result is a series of layered compositions that reinterpret historical aesthetics through a modern lens. Her work often features fragmented female figures, rendered in bold graphic patterns and richly textured surfaces, offering a nuanced dialogue between past and present. Working across a range of materials, including plaster, acrylic, paper, and foam, Stiler creates layered, tactile pieces that merge the disciplines of painting and sculpture. Her monochromatic reliefs and collage-like works reference Greco-Roman statues, Cubist compositions, and early 20th-century decorative arts, examining the construction of visual language and its relationship to gender and identity. Stiler’s solo exhibitions include New Patterns, The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY (2022); Group Relief, Fairfield University Art Museum, CT (2020); Fresco, Saint-Gaudens Memorial Park, Cornish, NH (2019); Ghost Versions, Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, CT (2015); and Inherited and Borrowed Types, Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, OR (2010), among others. Her work has been included in numerous group exhibitions including Friends & Lovers, FLAG Art Foundation, New York, NY (2023); No Forms, Hill Art Foundation, New York, NY (2022); Classic Beauty: 21st-Century Artists on Ancient [Greek] Form, Providence College Galleries, RI (2018); The Times, FLAG Art Foundation, NY (2017); We Are What We Hide, Institute of Contemporary Art, Maine College of Art & Design, Portland, ME (2013); and the Socrates Sculpture Park Emerging Artist Fellowship Exhibition, Socrates Sculpture Park, Queens, NY (2010), among others. Her work is in the collections of Fairfield University Art Museum, CT; The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY; The Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; and Rhode Island School of Design Museum, Providence, RI.
