The Great American Sculptor
The Great American Sculptor
Keith Allen Johnson is the only professional sculptor in history to have produced life-sized busts of six United States presidents.
Keith Johnson is a leader of a new generation of realistic sculptors. He follows in the tradition of his mentors, master sculptors, Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848-1907) and Daniel Chester French (1850-1931).
These sculptors created images that matched the nation's sense of strength and confidence. Saint-Gauden's sculptures memorialized the leaders of his era - from President Lincoln to author Robert Lewis Stevenson. His work captured the individual while it conveyed the timeless, mythical quality of the hero. Daniel Chester French built his career as the preeminent monumental sculptor in America. Infusing the neo-classical tradition of statuary with a penetrating new realism and lively animation, he created dramatic compositions in marble and bronze.
With the inspiration of these Masters as his guiding force, Johnson is the only American sculptor in history to create a collection of six life-size U.S. Presidents. His Presidential sculptures display a perfect sense of the artist's ability to capture the spirit and the likeness of his subjects in heroic proportion. His innate visual abilities guide him in the creative process as he seeks the highest and most compelling interpretation for his subjects.
In April of 1999, Johnson began the series of life-size Presidential sculptures. His first subject was a work of President Ronald Reagan. He has gone on to complete life-size portraits of George H.W. Bush, John F. Kennedy, Harry S. Truman, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and George W. Bush. Johnson's Presidential portraits have been heralded by early patrons as the most life-like portraits of the Presidents ever created. His sculpture of Ronald Reagan has been accepted to the permanent collection at The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.
Johnson's earlier figurative works of Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan are part of the permanent collection at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Johnson's life size portrait bust of John F. Kennedy is on permanent display at the John F. Kennedy Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. With numerous private commissions to his credit, Johnson continues to build a loyal following of patrons across America. His sports sculptures have been on display at the original Boston Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, The New England Sports Museum in Cambridge Massachusetts and Capelli International Salon & Gallery on Newbury Street in Boston's Back Bay.
Johnson's vision for his future work is bold and ambitious. His most recent works of Henry Morrison Flagler, the powerful visionary who developed the east coast of Florida, include a life size portrait bust, and the Henry M. Flagler Monument. In progress now is the portrait bust of Holiday Inn founder Kemmons Wilson and The Tiger Woods Monument. Johnson's work is a timeless art form that requires perfect precision and a keen sense of perception. Johnson possesses these attributes in abundance. When you look into the faces of his portraits, you are immediately captivated by the striking details, only to be struck again by the "living spirit" he so remarkably portrays.

Music underneath Sidney Bechet & Django Reinhardt.
George Shkhvatsabaia was born in 1940 in Tbilisi and was brought uр in аn intelligent family devoid of аnу special artistic traditions, (he himself has given birth to this tradition and now his daughter is continuing it). In 1964 he graduated from the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts under Nikoloz Kandelaki, George Ochiauri and Valentin Topuridze. Since then he has been working intensively and has created а great many artistic images in stone, metal and clay.
G. Shkhvatsabaia's very first works are distinguished for their freer manner of modelling, boldness and artistic finish. It has at once become evident that he is endowed with а special gift for plastic art as а genuine musician is endowed with а perfect ear.
Works: "Rest" (1967), "Sculpture of Mirza Gelovani", "Figure of a young woman" (1976, Medal of the USSR Academy of Arts for the best work), "Memorial of the Missing" (1978, Teleti), "Flower of friendship" (1980, Rukhi), "Commemoration wall" (1981, Garden of the 9th of April, Tbilisi), "Flags" (1989, in the same Garden), Sculpture of Galaktion Tabidze (1989, Kutaisi, Prize of Georgian Council of Ministers), "Veriko Anjaparidze" (1990, Mtatsminda Pantheon), "Peace of torch" 1992, Greece, Olympia), "Mother land" (1997, first capital of Greek Republic Navplion), "Sculpture of Zhiuli Shartava" (1997, Senaki), "Sculpture of Yevgeny Mikeladze" (2000, Z.Paliashvili Opera and Ballet House, Tbilisi), "Elevation" (2004, Square of Heroes, Tbilisi).
George Shkhvatsabaia is a participant of a number of exhibitions in Georgia and abroad. His works are preserved in Georgian Museum of Art, Tretiakov Gallery of Moscow, Museum of Modern Art of Amsterdam, in Greece, Turkey, USA, Italy, Poland, Uzbekistan and in private collections. At present, he works about the sculpture of Lado Asatiani. He is a Public Artist of Georgia. His biography is entered in the Georgian Soviet Encyclopedia. He is awarded with a Badge of Honor (1999). He is an Honorable Citizen of Tbilisi and the State Prize laureate of Georgia.
