Formally similar to minimalism, Stamkopoulous identifies his sculptures as «lines in space,» taken
directly from the fluid, organic - like lines employed
during his distinctive erasure
painting process.
In the new YARD
paintings at Gagosian Rue de Ponthieu, Ruby uses rollers and brooms to spread a soft palette of red, blue, green, and purple acrylic
paints over unprimed canvases laid
directly on the studio ground; incidental debris and textures beneath the canvas emerge as impressions
during the frottage
process.
