Charles Ray (born 1953 in Chicago): you immediately think of this monumental work "Boy With Frog" conceived for the opening of the Punta della Dogana in Venice in 2009. It will be found here on the 2nd floor of the Rotunda.
From the forecourt to the Rotunda Charles Ray unveils seventeen works. Marble, paper, concrete, steel, aluminum, fiberglass ... for Charles Ray the choice of materials is as essential as that of forms ... classic or contemporary his representation is more particularly focused on the human figure: here is a child playing with a small car on the concrete floor of the Rotunda, there an oversized tramp wears a gaze stretched towards the emptiness of existence ... or this self-portrait (return to the One ...)
Each one inhabits the space in its own way, seeming to be here for an eternity.
We will not reveal the rest of the exhibition which testifies to his strength of invention and his deep knowledge and mastery of the history of art and sculpture. Let yourself be carried away and surprised by wandering through each of the galleries...
