Artist Statement:It took me one year to complete this artwork entitled "A Tribute to 9/11 Heroes", which I intend to donate to a New York City museum." ABOUT THE ARTIST Smith Georges- Haitian-American artist, born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Son of a prominent Haitian artist, Duclavier Leconte Georges. Smith is an accomplished artist. He started painting and sculpting at the age of 7. Smith attended Foyer Des Arts Plastics, a fine Haitian Art School. In U.S.A. Smith attended La Guardia Community College (Accounting), Baruch College (Accounting) and New York Tech College where he majored in Architectural Design. He uses all types of mediums such as wood, marble, metal, leather, stone, water color collage, acrylic and oil on canvas. His style is influenced by his father's modern and surrealistic sculptures. His work has also been on exhibit at leading art galleries throughout Haiti, at World Trade Art Gallery and Mehu Gallery in the United States and in several private exhibitions. His work has been featured on the front page of the New York Times, on CBS (TV), in Time magazine, college textbooks by Simon & Schuster and other distinguished publications. Smith's paintings and sculptures are in private collections in Haiti, U.S.A. and several Caribbean and European countries. Among the collectors of his artworks are President Bill Clinton, President Jean Bertrand Aristide, actor Danny Glover, soccer Legend/King Pele, singer/entertainer Wyclef Jean and several other celebrities and dignitaries. Smith plays guitar and composes French songs. The trauma that he experienced in the World Trade Center tragedy has engulfed him so much that the very next day he started working on the idea of a project that engaged people in the U.S.A. and around the world to share their thoughts about 9/11. He is currently writing a book About the famous Haitian-American international artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.
