The painted sculptures of Kiernan Fradette will be featured in the Art Ovation Hotel Artist’s residency in Sarasota from January 1 through January 7. The residency also will include demonstrations, discussions, and multi-media presentations.

Fradette will demonstrate how he creates the costumed details of two of his bronze figures from the Commedia dell’ Arte, a form of theatrical comedy popular in Europe during the 16-18th centuries. This will include such details as the rendering of lace, filigree, and floral dress patterns. Both the design and the technical application will be addressed during the demonstrations. The artist will be in residence each day between 10am and 8pm.

In addition, the sculpture of a life-size Peacock in full display augmented by 13 LED light patterns will also be presented during the residency.  It will be accompanied by a music video created by the artist.
