PREVIEWS
Joseph Lorusso: One Person Show Meyer Gallery, 225 Canyon 505-983-1434, meyergalleries.com May 6–19, reception May 6, 5–7 pm The mid-century American setting of Lorusso’s robust human tableaux can’t help but call to mind Norman Rockwell (minus the sentimentality, thankfully). At the same time, however, the urban venues represented in these paintings—a jazz club, a bistro—and the emotionality of the people who inhabit them are more reminiscent of Manet, whom Lorusso cites as an influence. The artist’s natural landscapes, too, nod in the direction of Impressionism, with their subtle tonalities and diffuse light.—Eve Tolpa
