California sculptor creates surreal statue of former President Jimmy Carter

ATLANTA — The streets near the Carter Center will soon buzz after residents see a bronze sculpture of the oldest living US president in history, three times the size of Carter in real life.
An iconic bust by Carmel sculptor Stephen White will be installed in the Presidential Library at Carter Center in Atlanta.
He created many other legendary busts of public figures, including former US President Abraham Lincoln, former US Representative John Conyers Jr., and civil rights activist John Lewis.
A slightly over-life-size bust takes about 2 weeks to sculpt, while a 3 times life-size bust sits in clay for about 2 months before it can be fixed and cast in bronze.
White said he celebrated the humanitarian work of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter and created the bust as a study.
“Improve the lives of people around the world by resolving conflicts, promoting democracy and human rights, preventing disease, and building affordable housing,” White said.
The sculptor depicts President Carter’s age while in the White House and celebrates Carter and the Carter Center by placing the center’s logo on the bust’s ligaments.
A variant of the bronze is part of the Carter Center art collection and is on display next to the bust of the First Lady in Plains High School State Park.
Many famous sculptures are made by artists. We admire them and sigh that we can’t own them because they are too expensive. Other sculptures are unique and can only be displayed in the gallery of the National Exhibition and Art Gallery. If ordinary people want to own a sculpture they like, they need someone to copy them. TENGYUN is the professional manufacturer of sculpture in China.
