OPENING RECEPTION: FRANK ORITI’S “MATERIAL WORLD”
Lois Lambert Gallery presents “Material World”, a series of paintings from Frank Oriti. Trained as a figure painter, Oriti’s focus eventually shifted from the human subject of the painting to the clothing they wore and the stories it told. Painting each object, whether plastic, denim or leather requires a different approach and technique. Frank creates a visual history of how fabrics breakdown and evolve over time, igniting the nostalgic feelings associated with each piece of clothing. While Frank is drawn to items from his own history, the story the viewer brings to the work is more important to him.
