Alexo Wandael
Jazz+ Friend
The “Jazz + Friends” portrait project has been a remarkable endeavor spanning the past two years, skillfully capturing the essence of the jazz community and the connections that bring it to life. Photographer Alexo Wandel will be present at the opening night of this exhibition, which serves as a tribute to the vibrant stories and individuals featured in this captivating collection. Alexo Wandael, an Italian director and photographer, has built a career spanning architecture, fashion, and fine art photography. His work includes projects like Arcadia, To My Pink Lady, and the feature film Tomato Soup in Skid Row, which explores social issues like homelessness. Wandael has collaborated with global brands such as Versace, Bulgari, and Nike, as well as artists like Katy Perry.

Three Years of Jazz Tuesday at LA Puglia. A celebration in Portraits.

Projected Photo Art Exhibition | December 5- January 5, 2025

Peter Lodato
Diamonds/Divisions/Voids

Always fascinated by the uncertainty of human perception, and the duplicitous nature of vision, which can be both revealing and deceitful, Lodato creates paintings that delve into this duality. Upon first read they are austere, geometric abstractions. After further observation, however, the paintings begin to vibrate: brushstrokes become evident and the surface reveals that there are numerous layers beneath. The hard edges of his often bi-chromatic works dissipate into sensuous fields of color that seem to push space in and out. Lodato’s reductive, divided compositions are visual confrontations between the planar simplicity of form and the resonance of particular pigments. A disciple of the AbEx color field painter, Barnett Newman, Lodato’s sumptuously colored canvases echo Newman’s concept of using division as a way to merge different areas of the canvas into a sublime whole.
