Lawrence Romorini is an artist specializing in 3-dimensional artwork for company, association and hospital anniversaries and for executive retirements to commemorate history, leadership and accomplishments.〔Sagalow, Zoe. (July 2015). (One Of A Kind Inc. Art Studio's celebrity roster includes Oprah Winfrey ), ''Washington Business Journal.'' 〕〔('Best-Kept Secret' for 25 Years, One Of A Kind Art Studio Creates Unique 3-D Business Anniversary and CEO Retirement Art for America's Top Companies, Associations and Celebrities ), ''PR Newswire'' (note that this source is a press release)〕 Born in Milan, Italy, Romorini was educated in New York City. From his early career in communications as an art director he went on to be the principal of his own advertising agency. Romorini founded One Of A Kind Art Studio in 1985. He has created over 1,000 pieces of art on display in public and private collections, including commissions for Banc One,〔Crenshaw, Albert B. et al. (1 November 1993). (The Art of the Annual Report ), ''The Washington Post'' ("Silver Spring artist Lawrence M. Romorini works mostly for corporations - his elaborate three-dimensional collages made up of all sorts of company mementos adorn reception areas around the country.")〕 Oprah Winfrey, Jack Welch, Michael Jordan, Ernst & Young, American Chemical Society〔(ACS celebrated its 125 Year Anniversary by commissioning a three-dimensional tribute sculpture by Italian artist Lawrence Romorini ), American Chemical Society website〕 and Southwest Airlines. In 2008 he received a Clio Awards for lobby art commissioned by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons〔(Academy Chronicles ), AAOS 75th Anniversary Celebration website〕 to celebrate their 75th anniversary. At his One Of A Kind Art Studio, located in Silver Spring, Maryland, Lawrence Romorini custom designs and constructs each retrospective, incorporating miniaturized photos, publications, memorabilia and personal keepsakes, elevated on different planes and enclosed in Plexiglas. The miniaturization of the items allows Romorini to include many pieces of memorabilia, thus telling a large story in a finite amount of space. A 1999 Washington Post article observed, "Those who have acquired Romorini's work regard it as a singular form of expression...designed not just to draw viewers in, but to tug at their sleeves from across the lobby." 〔DeFord, Susan. (April 1999). (A Picture by the Pieces: Everyday Items Inspire Artist's Work ), ''The Washington Post''〕 The subjects of his retrospective art are as diverse as the stories of Marriott International, Compressed Gas Association,〔Compressed Gas Association 100th Anniversary Interactive Webpage, http://www.cganet.com/100th-anniversary-review.php〕 Risk Management Association,〔Risk Management Association 100th Anniversary Interactive Webpage, http://landing.rmahq.org/Centennial/reveal-21P5-120735.html〕 〔 Ten Sides to RMA's Story, http://rmablog.rmahq.org/2014/02/12/ten-sides-to-rmas-story-rma100/〕 Wilhelm Construction,〔Wilhelm Construction's 90th Anniversary Interactive Webpage, http://www.fawilhelm.com/about/history/〕 Allen, Allen, Allen & Allen,〔Allen, Allen, Allen & Allen Interactive Webpage, http://www.allenandallen.com/100-year-anniversary.html〕 American Roller Bearing Company, Grange Insurance, American Society of Civil Engineers, Loyola Marymount University,〔Loyola Marymount University Interactive Webpage, http://100.lmu.edu/celebrating/Interactive_Collage.htm〕 and the Chicago Bulls. An extraordinary example is a collage commemorating the life of the Wye Oak in Maryland, which fell from a lightning strike after 450+ years. Included is an actual branch from the oak, surrounded by photographs and symbols of Maryland's history during the tree's life.〔(The Wye Oak - The Life of Tree ), Maryland Forestry and Parks〕 Romorini's works can be seen at his studio's website: www.oneofakindinc.com. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lawrence Romorini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
