A sculptor of remarkable accuracy and nuanced observation, Melvin Johansen brings to his work a legacy of study of the natural world. Johansen has devoted his life to the celebration of wildlife through reverent and joyous representation. Studing of animals for many years, in 1972, he focused on his artwork career. Vivid and assured, his figures feature a loose, unrefined texture that prevents them from appearing overly technical and suggests movement. Johansen's bronzes represent classic animal sculptures at their finest quality.
