Biography
Costantino Di Renzo is an established contemporary Italian artist. He began his career in 1966 by attending the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. From the first year of his profession as a painter, he started elaborating and conceptualizing the painting of the Dutch Vermeer.
He joined the hyperrealist movement in 1974, and soon after that he went to the United States to study the technique of hyperrealism and often visited Richard Estes, Don Eddy and Chuk Close studios. In the Borghi Gallery in New York he exhibited a series of works entitled: “New York, sphinx of cement, aluminum and mirrors” at the end of 70’s.
Since the 1980s he has devoted himself to sculpture, and has exhibited his works at the Cesare Manzo Gallery in Pescara and the Centro Sei Gallery in Bari. His sculptures were veiled figures made of fiberglass, which invaded the exhibition space in a sort of installation. Di Renzo’s sculptures were shown in the Bari International Fair, Bologna International Fair and at the Basel International Fair.
In the 1990s he was engaged in an in-depth study of Homeric Ulysses, which inspired him to produce a series of works representing symbiosis between painting and literature. Large works and pictorial cycles for public and private collections was something that he was working on during this period.
Di Renzo’s paintings, in the 2000s, split into irregular geometries, embellished with plastic parts that maintained the story beyond the surface of the painting itself, despite remaining tied to the theme of ancient Mediterranean myth.
His paintings still searches into the hidden aspects of the mind, dresses up in the clothes of the modern world, digs into human baseness, craziness, perversion, and the flaws of today's society.
Costantino Di Renzo was born in 1946, in Italy.

Reviews and comments
I usually avoid much praise for a portrait-like image of a pretty young woman. though female beauty is obvious and a pleasure to behold, it is so obvious a subject that I distrust the intellectual content that distinguishes merely skillful from exceptional.
That is not the case in this work as I see it. Most of us have known young women at this stage in life, finding their own bodies, their own minds rapidly transitioning from childhood to adulthood and seeing the world around them change as much as they are doing.
I think Renzo has captured one of those moments of self-doubt, of curious anticipation, of reluctant acceptance and confusion young girls becoming young women seem often to pass through. I have seen this stare into the unknown on the faces of nieces and the children of friends.
As a male, I experienced something like it. One day I was but energetic and annoying youth, but as a large and athletic adolescent, noting new looks, from others, some curious, some apprehensive as for the first time in my life I became something some adults began to see as s threat to be managed or avoided.
Isolating as that was, I think it was easier to adapt to than what the female peers around me were facing, the frightening blossom of a flower people want to stare at, sniff and pluck. A world shifting around a face and body not yet really you as you have been.
My art is very different, but I am frequently jealous of the things Renzo can show us with his.
