Sculpturedale
3 Carter Road, Kent, CT
October 8, 2013

Sculpturedale is the studio and gallery of sculptor Denis Curtiss. Each sculpture is made of steel and though entirely durable for outdoor placement in any weather, they show movement and liveliness unexpected in heavy metal. Each and every piece is unique. All are made in the studio located on the property. Sculpturedale is comprised of 3 acres of tended garden where visitors may stroll amidst interesting plantings which enhance the placement of over a hundred pieces of sculpture. Many visitors and groups enjoy seeing the studio and peering "inside" a work which is underway.

Denis' sculpture is owned by collectors around the country and beyond. They can be seen in public places from Greenwich CT to Lincoln, Nebraska. Visitors are welcome to visit Sculpturedale, located right on Route 7 three miles north of the center of Kent, close to Kent Falls State Park. https://www.deniscurtisssculpture.com/

Nobody came out of the house to greet the two RV Gypsies when they arrived at Sculpturedale, so they parked their truck and took the opportunity to stroll among life-size steel and bronze animals that stalk and cavort there in the yard of sculptor Denis Curtiss on Route 7, next to Kent Falls State Park in Kent, Connecticut. They saw a sign on a building that said "Denis Curtiss Sculptor". So when the two RV Gypsies returned to their RV, they looked up the sculptor's website.

According to the sculpture's website, "Sheets of flat metal are cut, then welded into triangulated shapes that assemble to a unique cubist sculpture that is extremely strong. Never static, the animals are in a state of movement: horses prance or rear, goats leap, cats pounce, elephants trumpet, roosters stomp. They each have a personality and a name".
