Art Exhibit: Carlo LoCascio in Lincoln Park

Carlo LoCascio is an Italian artist who settled in Chicago ten years ago after an international career in industrial and interior design. His beautiful exhibit of paintings in oil and mixed media can be viewed by appointment (773-206-2851) at Tete De Girolami's art gallery at 2000 N. Orleans Street - on the corner of Armitage and Orleans.

Carlo LoCascio, when pressed, describes his work as avant-garde. He rejects working within the perimeters of a strict style, however. In his words: "My inspiration is the unending need to give expression to the abstract meanings hidden in everyday life, as informed by my personal memories and dreams."
LoCascio's commitment to interior, psychological truth gives this exhibit its emotional resonance and unforgettable vitality.
