Yum! how the flexibility / ease of cutting pre-painted sections of cardboard highlights the opportunity for energy inherent in co-located lines, forms and fields
The ones with the white ground with these painting styles POPS. Maybe because the white ground resembles like a purgatory, or white light... Thanks James for your videos. F*** yeah Sterling.
As much as I wish I were a fan, I still just don't get Sterling Ruby. It feels impenetrable, and doesn't give many hooks to bring one in to his particular cosmos. Also, isn't cardboard *rather* un-archival? I'm usually wrong - probably this is very special, non-acid cardboard that will last centuries (if anyone cares about that kind of thing at these modest prices, heh.) Well, I learn more in your comments, and especially this video's description, than anywhere else. Thanks for the tour, and thank you Kate!
Maybe I can help you even if taste is personnal. Sterling is interested in the coherence of his body of work. His work is not only based on technical skills, but also about a vision and energy, picture him as a artist that creates objetcs for movie set. His work could easly fit in a post apocaliptic movie. His ceramics are splendid in my opinion. I think you have to appreciate the narrative that he offers to enjoy some of his artworks.
I’m in love with his ceramics, the rest of his work I feel sort of meh towards. I don’t hate his paintings but they don’t have the magic of his ceramic work
Turbine Dixie, the last painting with the orange canvas with the x cardboard, seems like it might be a reference to the southern Dixie, confederate flag
I feel the descriptive reality of these paintings. His industrial output and environment find themselves embedded in the structures of the work. I don’t find any relationships philosophically with abstract expressionism.
Thanks for once again doing the work to bring us the artists and galleries. Some of Ruby's process in this video: th-cam.com/video/IeD5Bs3N8TA/w-d-xo.html

Excellent video; I'm really drawn to the colors, the collaged cardboard pieces & the many gritty elements. Very interesting work!
A sweep of the people standing in front of the Turbines nicely captured their relative size. Thanks!
Great review of a beautiful show. I love this guy's art so much! Thank you for giving us a look at it.
Thank you Kate
"James Kalm" looks at art the way I do when I go to a museum or gallery. Thanks. So with him, it's like we are here even though we're not all there.
Great paintings! thanks Kate. Refreshing show.
Yummy color in the 2 smaller paintings.

Thank you for showing! Being not able to come to NYC now, I really enjoy you covering NY galleries.
Thank you 👏

Thank you Kate! ❤
That is one of the best painting shows!!!
Thank you
This was spectacular Mr. Jameskalm! Thank you Kate!! LKF JK has more subs than Gagosian and so deserved!!!
Like those closeups of these intense surfaces.
only images on the net that really show the work....... as always, thanks
I don’t understand the use of cardboard or how it relates to the painted surfaces, but it’s looks really fkn gooood.
Energy. It’s always there
interesting how your camera keeps trying to adjust colours...thank you for the video
Good stuff.

Thank you Kate, Via Tokyo
This makes my own art look like million dollar masterpieces

What do you think is the adhesive used for applying the cardboard ?
One vote for the view of the Kiefer show. Thanks
I went there this evening, and will have to go back, but Anselm Kiefer should appear at the Kalm Report shortly, stay tuned...
Great paintings, but I am getting tired of the huge sizes of so much of the art, and who can afford an abode they would fit in?

Finally happy to see a S. Ruby show, thanks JK.
Is that show called "straight out the tube"? hashtag GOLDEN

Thanks, man

I want to not like these and say it's a cynical take on AbEx for the smartphone generation but... they look pretty damn good on my screen.
Better than his giant ceramic ashtrays.
These are not interesting.
interesting when you see how they use this crap to launder the filthiest money
Like his clothing. Not particularly fond of this show.
Thank you Kate !!!
