Tom Fruin

Tom Fruin (b. 1974) is a contemporary American sculptor. He graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Known for his large scale installations, Fruin most commonly uses steel and highly colored plexiglass to create monumental sculptures referencing local building structures. He describes his drive to make art that is publicly accessible, as well as sustainable, by working with reclaimed materials and alternative energy.

Fruin's largest installation to date, the Watertower series, is installed on multiple rooftops across New York City and around the country. Other large scale work has been exhibited in public plazas in Prague, Vienna, Copenhagen, and throughout the United States. Tom grew up in Los Angeles and lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
