Willie Cole at Alexander and Bonin Gallery

For his latest New York solo show, New Jersey based artist Willie Cole turns a whimsical arrangement of women’s shoes into a towering, 6 foot tall bronze sculpture recalling a Yoruban deity; a literalized example of power dressing. (At Chelsea’s Alexander and Bonin Gallery through Nov 16th)

It would be amazing enough if this sculpture by Willie Cole was made of shoes.  It’s rendered more permanent and pushes the materials a step further by being crafted of bronze.  (At Chelsea’s Alexander and Bonin Gallery through July).
