È uno scultore figurativo i cui soggetti includono ritratti di individui viventi o storici e sculture poetiche-filosofiche caratterizzate da una sensibilità post-moderna. Lavora e vive vicino a Filadelfia. I suoi lavori — spesso di dimensioni monumentali — sono esposti ai Brookgreen Gardens,[1] al The Lotos Club di New York,[2] al Utsukushi ga-hara Open Air Museum in Giappone,[3] all'Accademia Americana del Design,[4] all'ambasciata statunitense a Pretoria, in Sudafrica[5] — così anche in corporazioni, istituzioni e collezioni private negli Stati Uniti e all'estero.


Biografia


Nato a San Francisco nel 1951 dal musicista e poeta greco Vasilis Frudakis e da Kassiani Alexis, Frudakis crebbe a Wheeling, Virginia Occidentale, e a Gary, Indiana dove lavorò in alcune acciaierie. Cominciò a scolpire in giovane età, e nel 1972 arrivò a Filadelfia per studiare alla Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

Studiò scultura con due vincitori del Prix de Rome: suo fratello maggiore, Evangelos Frudakis e il pittore James Hanes.
