Outside of film, the classically trained musician is a member of an experimental band. In 2008, Ruilova completed a series of C-print reliefs entitled, A-Z that consistently wowed prestigious crowds at Art Basel, Miami. Each evocative portrait is a trompe l’oeil, leaping off gallery walls, challenging everything you thought you knew about perspective and dimension. Meet the Eye is currently playing in the Video Gallery at the Hammer Museum through September 27th.  A traveling exhibition tour, The Singles 1999-Now will conclude at the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland, September 11, 2009 – January 3, 2010.
