“Each application and modification of clay is a thought that accumulate to the finished portrait, like the selected notes of a musician that conclude to a song.. the final product is relatable and recognizable.. not a duplication of nature’s gift, but an interpretation. The real gift is here and still relevant, inspiring generations of fans. From Hollis to Hollywood and beyond. The G.O.A.T.🐐,” Banfield wrote.
The statue will be on display in Flushing Meadows Corona Park in the David Dinkins Circle until November 2022. LL Cool J previously displayed his mic skills at the park when he came through for a few historic performances. LL also thanked Banfield on Instagram and expressed his thoughts.
“Anything is possible. ✊🏾🌹Statue of me in Corona Park, Queens by the talented @sherwintheartist,” he posted.
