The Artist – Zenos Frudakis
Zenos studied by scholarship at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, completing his formal education with a Bachelor’s in Fine Art and a Master’s in Fine Art at the University of Pennsylvania. Zenos studied sculpture with his brother, sculptor EvAngelos Frudakis, and oil painting with James Hanes, both winners of the Prix de Rome.
Zenos’ emphasis has been the figure and the portrait, as demonstrated in his many monumental figure/portrait works, individual portrait busts, and bas-reliefs. He excels at expressing the character and vitality of his subjects while capturing an accurate likeness. Zenos’ portfolio includes figure sculpture, animals, bas-reliefs, portraits—both busts and paintings—of living and historical individuals, and poetic/philosophical sculpture with a post-modern sensibility. Over the past four decades, he has created monumental works in public and private collections throughout the US and abroad.
