Reminisce (aka REM, pseudonyms of Ruby Rose Neri)[2] is a sculptor, painter, and former street artist from San Francisco and Los Angeles, California, known for her portrayal of horses.
Biography[edit]
Ruby Neri is the daughter of Bay Area Figurative sculptor Manuel Neri.[2] In the early 1990s, while attending San Francisco Art Institute, she began painting monochromatic graffiti horses in public spaces in San Francisco.[3][4] Her work was well received by the general public in San Francisco.[4]
She is also a gallery artist and muralist, receiving a BFA in painting from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1994.[5] Her painting during this time is described as being influenced by Nicole Eisenmann, Raymond Pettibon, and Mike Kelley.[6] Neri contributed mural work to such sites as the Clarion Alley Mural Project and the Redstone Building.[7][8] A founding member of what later came to be known as the Mission School,[9] she was a close collaborator with other notable graffiti artists, such as Twist and Craig "KR" Costello, and Dan "Plasma" Rauch, as well as Mission School painter Alicia McCarthy.[9][10]
In the late 1990s, Neri quit working with graffiti,[11] and moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles. While there, she focused on sculpture, creating figurative but abstract cubist sculptures of horses.[12] She received her MFA from UCLA in 1998.[1]
