Guild Artist Ruffin Hobbs New show opening Turning Point Gallery Chapel Hill Reception for Ruffin April 11, 2008 6-9 Ruffin Hobbs is a sculptor who lives and works in southern Alamance County, North Carolina. As an artist primarily working in metal, he is fascinated by the interplay of wire, volume, and open space. Ruffin also explores how using combinations of different metals in his work can add color contrast, texture and strength. He often combines traditional metal working techniques, such as forged iron, with more contemporary methods, including hollow-form assembly . Ruffin's most ambitious sculpture commission to date, was the design and fabrication of a pair of majestic stainless steel tigers for Princeton University. For more about the tigers, click here:
