Sculpture

Sculptor Duane Hanson (left) was a regular guest at the Central Campus art gallery. A Davie resident and neighbor of BCC art professor Larry Tobe (right), Hanson often spoke to BCC art students. The sculpture The Surfer used Hanson's son as model. Tobe and his wife also served as Hanson models.

Hanson modeled his sculptures with gray polyvinyl body filler, airbrushed and painted skin, and then added hair and other details. Finally, he dressed them and added accessories. Hanson died in 1996, 11 days before his 71st birthday.
