For a week you have been promoting and giving away tickets to a performance of Tosca Saturday May 19th. Why isn’t it on the community calendar? I want to buy tickets.
EVENT:
“Unfinished: Existing On Its Own”,
Debbee Lotito Art Solo Show
DATE AND TIME:
Sat, August 11, 2018
7:00 PM – 11:00 PM EDT
LOCATION:
Studio 8700
8700 West Nine Mile Road
Oak Park, MI 48237
DESCRIPTION:
Detroit artist Debbee Lotito works in an array of mixed media, including acrylics, watercolor, ink, pastels, and pencil.
Lotito’s consistently stunning works on paper fuse a subtle minimalism with organic figuration and translucent, bleeding waves of color. Her works are whimsical, expressive and engage the viewer via a lucid reservoir of imagination.
In the new series, “Unfinished: Existing On Its Own,” we find her experimentally contrasting pencil and paint. What at first glance may seem incomplete is not by any means. Each thrilling beauty of unresolved aesthetics is decidedly finished. The viewer is invited to fill-in the blanks with their own imagination.
This one-night-only show is free and open to the public.
