The Sole Sitter Willie Cole's If wishes were horses... runs form October 18 to November 16, 2013 at Alexander and Bonin (132 Tenth Avenue, New York City). There will be an opening from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, October 18.
The exhibit consists of three large paintings and two sculptures. They are on a different scale from the artist's previous work but still reflect his fascination with the Yoruba religon.
The Sole Sitter, pictured here, is a 6 foot bronze piece.
Cole often features the deity, Elegba (the name may sound vaguely familar to those knowledgeable about Voodoo where the name became Legba). Elegba is the messenger, the conduit, between man and the gods.
