    "Victor joined the ranks of Michelangelo, Bernini, Daniel Chester French and Maya Lin by receiving his first large commission at only 23 years old," she wrote.

    At age 26, Victor became the youngest artist to have a sculpture included in the nation's foremost collection of figurative sculpture, the National Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C.
    ...
    Raised in Bakersfield, Calif., Victor moved to Ellendale, N.D., to attend Trinity Bible College and play college basketball there with a few other buddies from Bakersfield.

    "The school didn't offer art classes, but I kept drawing and painting on my own," Victor said by telephone from his Aberdeen studio. It was his dad who helped him pursue his artistic passion.

    "The summer after my first year, I was married with a child on the way," he says. "I called my dad, and he said to just do what I loved. I enrolled in art at Northern in Aberdeen."

    He soon discovered that sculpture came easily, so he took it every semester until his 2004 graduation. Victor was helped through school by a scholarship from the National Sculpture Society, with support from his teachers Joel and Ruth McKinney.

    The work, entitled "Monument to Firefighters," is by South Dakota artist Benjamin Victor. He will be on hand to describe the process he used to create the bronze sculpture and also will give a demonstration.

    The city commissioned the sculpture at $65,000 as part of Lawrence's Percent for Art program, which requires the city to dedicate up to 2 percent of the construction costs of a public facility and park land to public art.

    World War II Army Corp Aviator Proposal Model The public is invited to meet sculptor Benjamin Victor, of South Dakota, who is sculpting a larger-than-life size World War II Aviator for Boise Airport. The completed sculpture, to be cast in bronze, is based on an Army Air Corp Aviator who flew out of Gowen Field during World War II. The final work is intended to honor all of our World War II veterans.

    Victor will bring the life-size clay figure to the Warhawk Air Museum November 11-21, 2008 so that citizens of Idaho can watch the artist at work on this important commission.
    ...
    Benjamin Victor was selected in February 2008 to create this work by a Selection Panel made up of Jim Tibbs/Boise City Council Member, John (Jack) Kane/Former Boise Airport Commissioner, Richard Young/Boise City Arts & History Commissioner, Francis Fox/Artist and BSU Professor, and Sue Paul/Warhawk Air Museum Director.

    The artwork project budget is $90,000 and is funded by Boise Airport as part of Boise's Percent-for-Art program, which integrates art into our civic institutions. The bronze statue will be installed and dedicated in May 2009.

    Boise City thanks our event host, Warhawk Air Museum, and artist sponsor The Modern Hotel, which is providing Benjamin Victor's room during his stay.

    South Dakota artist Benjamin Victor spent months researching and sculpting it. He did some of the work at Nampa's Warhawk Air Museum, where he had access to historical materials and local veterans helped him assure historical accuracy.

    Boisean Chet Bowers, a B-17 co-pilot who flew two missions over Normandy on D-Day, let Victor borrow his uniform to use as a model. Bowers didn't train at Gowen Field, but he's pleased that its vets will be honored with a sculpture.

    "It's timely," he said.

    "I spent every waking hour working on the model. It's got a lot of detail in it," he said.
