Forging Frank: Meet Zenos Frudakis, the sculptor behind the Rizzo statue
Local sculptor talks public art – from RBG and MLK to Rizzo
In a city where statues go up (Octavius V. Catto) and statues come down (Christopher Columbus, his own Frank Rizzo), Glenside-based sculptor Zenos Frudakis is ahead of the game at a time when all of America is re-considering whom it pays tribute in terms of its public monuments, and whom it topples.
Whether you realize it or not, you see the work of the 69-year-old sculptor on a daily basis, and sense, perhaps, the meaning and vibration he’s lent to molding Giudicci clay and forging bronze into shape and form. You become part of (or rail against, if you so choose) his message or spirit; you commune with each piece’s physical heft, its socio-cultural weight or its politicized torpor.

Brandon Litman took a different approach by making thousands of pieces of art to connect the Democratic candidates with voters. The 39-year-old artist from Brooklyn, New York, packed up his spray paint and traveled to Atlanta in early December amid a critical election overtime period in Georgia. Control of the U.S. Senate was at stake in what Litman called “the most important runoff elections of our lifetimes.”
