Artist Biography:
Barry Johnston dedicated himself to sculpture after earning a B.S. in architecture from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1969. He then studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the National Academy of Design and the Enzo Cardini and Romanelli Studios in Florence. Mr. Johnston has received numerous prizes, most recently the National Arts Club President’s Award, the Allied Artists of America Leonard J. Meiselman Award, and the Audubon Artists Gold Medal of Honor. Mr. Johnston brings to his work a daring imagination. Subjects are derived from religion, literature, and contemporary dilemmas. He is known for capturing energized form and anatomy in motion with robust, gravity-defying figures. Barry brings a keen eye for realism to his numerous portrait commissions.

Artist Statement:
Fully extended in a forward lunge, the gesture which is strong from every view was inspired by an instantaneous moment seen years earlier in the Broadway production called “Dance”.
