"Isaac Hayes" a lifesize bronze portrait sculpture for the "20 Heads of the Year 2000" project by sculptor Laury Dizengremel I came up with the "20 Heads of the Year 2000" concept years ago and enrolled the help of Isaac Hayes through Reverend Alfreddie Johnson, the founder of The World Literacy Crusade. Isaac was the international spokesperson for The World Literacy Crusade. An Academy award and Grammy award winner - as well as a human rights activist, Isaac marched with Martin Luther King and has been involved in many community-oriented projects. Isaac posed for me 3 times in New York (at Kiss FM, right after his morning radio show) in June 1998. As a sculptor, it was a thrilling experience as Isaac was a warm, very communicative and talented individual. Beyond the scope of the "20 Heads of the Year 2000" project I hope I've created the bronze bust of a proud, timeless black man. For donations for the project or further information, contact me. Also contact me to purchase a limited edition copy of this bronze. (photo credit: Paul Johnson) Foundry used: CAST, Dublin, Ireland Tel: + 353 1 453 01 33

You can also commission me today for a lifesize portrait sculpture or bust and I'll be on my way to you as soon as we have worked out a mutually agreed date for the first sitting!

Artwork prices will not include travel expenses (which may be minimal depending on where I am), base (can be slate, marble, wood, or bronze to suit the sculpture) or costs of shipping the bronze to you when cast.
