DESCRIPTION:Apr 18 - Jun 6\, 2026\nInto every one of his works\, the sculpt
 or Charles Ray seeks to imbue life. Born in Chicago in 1953\, Ray’s earl
 y pieces were composed of steel rods\, bricks\, and other industrial objec
 ts stacked on top of each other. When he began to question the fundamental
 s of his medium\, he turned to the human body as a generative force. “Fo
 r me\, sculpture is a behavior rather than a practice\,” he told The Bro
 oklyn Rail. “Sculpture is a punctuation mark in an activity\, and is the
  ultimate result of my behavior.” In his statues\, often nude\, Ray mani
 fests American-ness in the style of ancient Greek realism. He is not afrai
 d to be provocative. Ray’s latest exhibition has been over a decade in t
 he making. It presents three new sculptures that include Fallen Horse (202
 5)\, carved from a single block of granite\, along with two of his best kn
 own yet rarely exhibited works: Firetruck (1993)\, a child’s toy enlarge
 d to life-size proportions\, and Pepto-Bismol in a Marble Box (1988).
