Willie Cole - “Sunflower” In Sunflower, Cole created an elaborate composition of a sunflower by repeatedly scorching the hot surfaces of irons onto the canvas. The motif refers to the artist Vincent van Gogh, who likewise employed this imagery. Cole’s act of scorching the canvas suggests the branding of skin. The resultant patterning is also akin to West African printed cloth. In a spiritual context, the scorched painting represents the force of Ogun, the African god of iron, labor, and war and the “patron saint” of metalworkers and blacksmiths among the Yoruba people of West Africa. Cole evokes Ogun through his choice of materials and motifs, and relates to the deity as an artist himself through the same means.
