Troy Main Street - Troy Main Street



Sculptures on the Square The summer of 2013 promises to be a vibrant one for downtown Troy. Not only will the streets be teeming with visitors for several special events, but twenty life-like statues will be on display throughout the district from May 3rd through September 2nd. Troy Main Street, Inc. presents the sixth installment of Sculptures on the Square, featuring the internationally acclaimed Seward Johnson’s “Man on the Street” bronze statues. Seward Johnson is an American artist widely recognized for his life-size statues, which are castings of living people of all ages depicting them engaged in day-to-day activities. The realism of the textures and details is the hallmark of Johnson's art, and this detailing is achieved with hours of intense labor. Their routine poses make them a novel yet natural selection for a public art display in a setting such as the sidewalks of historic downtown Troy. Additional details about Johnson’s work can be found at www.sewardjohnson.com. Continue to read more by clicking here.
