The Art of Joseph Lorusso

Joseph Lorusso at P&C Art Gallery in Georgetown

The power of a Lorusso painting lies in its ability to make the viewer an emotional voyeur. You feel drawn to his subjects. You want to know what moves them. I believe truly great art serves as a trigger into something deeper within all of us, explains Lorusso. The greatest gift an artist can provide is to move the viewer in a way that is personal and undefinable and touches the soulful core within us. The mood and emotion conveyed in Lorusso's paintings evokes a deep sense of beauty found in the quiet times of daily living. His people are mysterious, lonely, romantic and yet familiar, placed in settings we often see ourselves. The mood he provokes is pensive, serene and timeless (from Howard/Mandville gallery catalog).
