Charles LeDray creates sculpture notable for its range of scale and wide variety of materials such as bone, fabric, and porcelain. His objects embody the conviction that ideas are experienced not only through the life of the mind but also through the skill of the hand.
In his sculpture, LeDray’s meticulous attention to detail and personal subject matter elicits a strong response from the viewer. This comprehensive exhibition of recent works will feature approximately 30 pieces created by LeDray since 1989. Included are several of LeDray’s early works such as untitled/Broken bear (1993), as well as his clothing based sculpture Come Together (1995-1996), and other pieces drawn from private and public collections.
Following its opening at ICA, this exhibition travelled to the Arts Club of Chicago, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and the Seattle Art Museum.
