Simon Le Ruez’s work, including painting, sculpture, installation, and drawing, shares an emphasis on materiality, reduction, deconstruction and remaking. It thrives on both aesthetic and psychological tensions. Within this framework, his expanding oeuvre revolves around the thematic fields of longing, concealment, transgression and release. His work aims to blur the distinctions between a number of media and through this a commentary evolves on and around various forms of opposition. Le Ruez was born in Jersey and lives in Sheffield and Berlin, Germany. His solo exhibition, ‘This is where we meet’, was at Vane in 2011. He was the 2009 winner of the CUBEOpen bursary and residency, CUBE: Centre for the Built Environment, Manchester, and was awarded a place on the International Studio Programme, Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, in 2010. He has exhibited widely internationally with recent group exhibitions in The Netherlands, Mexico, Russia, France, Iceland, Germany, Bulgaria, and the USA. experimentalstudio.org.uk/events/art-auction/the-optimist-1
