Ruby Dickson
Rejecting notions of visual coherence, Ruby Dickson seeks to parallel the discord of everyday life in each new painting she makes.
Ruby Dickson is a painter raised in Yorkshire who lives and works in London. Rejecting notions of visual coherence, Ruby seeks to parallel the discord of everyday life in each new painting she makes. In doing so, she draws upon a wide array of influences, ranging from postmodern literature to personal insecurity, in addition references from her education in Art History. Her paintings have nothing to do with identity.
Guns, mugs, dentures – objects often laden with meaning are built anew, once more made susceptible to the unpredictable influences of everyday life. Frustrated by the regular recourse to thoughtless irony pervasive in the art world, Dickson's characters and objects are presented sincerely; social commentary proves difficult as the pictured objects populate the artist's own world.
