The celebrated Chicago-born, Los Angeles–based sculptor Charles Ray is now starring in a major solo exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago. Devoted to his figurative experiments, the exhibition shows to stunning effect the reflective and fluid character of his work with solid, machined aluminum and stainless steel. Ray describes his timestaking life-size and larger-than-life sculptures as the materialization of “discipline and persistence.”
