CONRAD RUIZ (B. 1983) Rush, 2022 signed, titled and dated (on the reverse) watercolor on paper 9 x 12 in. 22.9 x 30.5 cm. Footnotes: Provenance Courtesy of the artist Artist statement: Initially inspired by the grandiosity of Hollywood cinema and the traditions of history painting, Ruiz's work draws from the visual legacies of Géricault and Delacroix, as well as the cinematic narratives of James Cameron. Unfurling on expansive canvases, Ruiz's compositions are kinetic and often explosive, capturing moments of collective euphoria. Through these fantastical, excessive tableaux, Ruiz delves into the ever-shifting intersections of class, masculinity, and race as they traverse the popular lexicons shaping our collective imagination. Balancing whimsy with formal rigor, his work functions as a visual historiography, documenting the processes by which the contemporary transforms into the historical.
