“I believe truly great art serves as a trigger into something deeper within all of us”
— Joseph Lorusso

Born of Italian descent, Lorusso was exposed to art at an early age. Through several early trips to Italy, his parents introduced him to the works of the Italian Masters. Lorusso would look to these influences throughout his early artistic development and they are still evident in his work today.

Lorusso’s paintings have been described as warm and dreamlike, places of restful escape with a sense of spirituality, and share timelessness with the works of other eras.

Lorusso’s work has been shown internationally and has won numerous awards and honors. He recently gave an artist’s demonstration at Bonner David Galleries, where his newest work is currently on exhibit, including his largest work to date, “We Shall All Be Famous”. This work measures 60″ x 60″, oil on panel, and has many components that go into it, the narrative of how we view fame. Andy Warhol’s famous quote “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes” was the basis for this piece.
