Tony Romano

Toronto-based artist Tony Romano received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design. He works with a variety of media, primarily film, sculpture, installation and photography, in order to explore his fascination with language, culture and human relationships. His recent body of work reflects his ongoing interests in narrative, popular culture and philosophy. His manner is extremely sophisticated, highly intellectual and remarkably quirky. Over the last ten years Tony Romano and fellow-artist Tyler Brett have often collaborated as “T&T” on images, models and sound works. Their combined vision is based on advanced engineering, ingenious upcycling, retrofitted architecture, ecological principles, rejigged technology and the concept of social harmony. He has had recent successful solo exhibitions in Ontario and Quebec and is included in numerous important corporate collections. Romano was co-founder of the art journal Hunter and Cook.
