Ruhs had his first experiences in New York in the ’70s.
He soon gave up paper and painting as a material and means of expression to begin work on a series of sculptures inspired by and using bits of scrap wood he picked up in the streets around his studio on Broadway.
His great ability to bring to light the expressive potential inherent in materials and colours allow Ruhs to overcome the boundaries between three-dimensional work (sculpture) and two-dimensional work (painting) with paper and wood collages that break down the barriers between reality and representation.
