Peter Lodato: From Installation to Painting,
Selected Works 1980-2000
October 14 - December 3, 2000
In this survey of work by Los Angeles artist Peter Lodato, glowing
fields of color serve as metaphors for spiritual illumination. A member
of the California Light and Space movement, he has created paintings and
installations over the past twenty years that possess a Zen-like beauty
and serenity. This exhibition includes a monumental wall painting, the first
time the Weisman Museum has hosted a site-specific installation.
