We had a great evening with friends exploring Ormond Beach and its Public Art Sculpture Tour. The Arts District exhibited works by Seward Johnson. Johnson, also known as John Seward Johnson II, was an American artist renowned for his life-size bronze statues that depict people engaged in everyday activities. His works are known for their hyper-realistic style and meticulous attention to detail. Johnson’s sculptures often capture ordinary moments, making them relatable and engaging for the public.
He was the founder of Grounds For Sculpture, a 42-acre sculpture park and museum located in Hamilton Township, Mercer County, New Jersey. This park showcases a wide array of sculptures, including many of Johnson’s own works, and has become a significant cultural landmark.
Johnson’s art has been exhibited internationally and is included in numerous private collections, museums, and public art collections. His approach to sculpture brought art from the museum to the public square, making it accessible and enjoyable for people from all walks of life.

Are the Seward Johnson sculptures permanently on display in Ormond Beach or loaned to Ormond Beach for this event? Curious as I visited the Grounds for Sculptures Park a number of years ago wurh Chris, Mary Jo, & Margaret. I don’t remember seeing these sculptures other than Peace, but the Peace I saw was supervised. Thanks for sharing.
