giant
Dalmatian puppy dog sculptures
by
Karen & Tony Barone
.
"R. HERO" is a
series of 6'-2" tall all aluminum Dalmatian puppy dog sculptures to
honor firefighters. In a world that has become exceedingly dangerous
and
where war has no boundaries – we rely on our heroic
firefighters more than ever. Each Dalmatian is executed in a different
brightly colored iridescent painted finish with signature black
Dalmatian spots and the name “R. HERO” on
its shiny silver collar.
.
Artists Karen & Tony Barone have created
this unique series of sculptures to be installed at public sites
(parks,
museums, municipal buildings, fire stations,hospitals, schools, and
other not-for-profits) as a means of honoring and bringing recognition
to our valiant firefighters who save and rescue humans and animals
alike. Through the creative & instructive expression of art,
the “R. Hero” sculptures serve
as a reminder of their indefatigable heroism.
..
In addition to
honoring firefighters, this project allows artists Karen
& Tony Barone the opportunity of achieving a personal goal to
create large scale public art that will enhance the quality of life for
individuals living in, working in and visiting a city. Also,
the visually child-friendly “R. Hero”,
draws
attention to the powerful and beneficial relationship of animals
to people. The Dalmatian sculptures executed in different colors allows
for a citywide campaign that places different colored “R.
HERO” sculptures at multiple site selections
– Karen & Tony Barone are passionate about making
their “R. HERO”
sculptures available to communities across America – creating
a “Dalmatian Nation”. .
