Studio Romolo Atelier. [2015, Dunlap]
Studio Romolo Atelier. In 2015, the sculptor and teacher Romolo Del Deo built an 800-square-foot studio out of a garage kit to better accommodate his own monumental works, as well as his considerable commitment to instruction and civic engagement, through the Studio Romolo Atelier and the Provincetown Public Art Foundation, of which he is currently president.
“I studied extensively in the U.S. with contemporary masters and in Italy with a generation of now-passed artists and artisans from the previous century, trained in the old master techniques of lost wax sculpting in bronze, silver, and gold, as well as marble carving,” Del Deo has written. “My artwork is my link between the Italianate tradition of my cultural past and background, filtered through the experience of living in the contemporary New York art world for nearly 30 years. … I also paint and make graphic works in graffito and intaglio techniques, as well as design furniture, jewelry, and theatrical scenery. I don’t like to confine my creativity.” In this studio, he doesn’t have to.
