Joe LoVasco
Joe LoVasco, a Merrimack Valley-based artist, engages with forms as the primary driver in his artistic practice. His drawings, mixed media, and sculptural works start with a loose gesture of a familiar form that eventually gets refined over several iterations. These forms tend to be a mix of distinct curves and angles, inspired by his surroundings and everyday interactions.
There are two distinctive series on display in the gallery- Dream Stack and Outlines. LoVasco’s Dream Stack series was born from observations of his then- infant son’s blocks and chunky toys. Early iterations of the work included smooth surfaces and rounded edges, whereas the most recent sculptures contain not only pointed corners, but a greater amount of visual and physical problem solving on the part of the artist.
The artwork on display has all been created within the past year at LoVasco’s home in Haverhill, MA. Working out of his renovated basement studio has allowed for plenty of planned and spontaneous visits from LoVasco’s 4-year-old son, Orlando. “Watching my son build his own sculptures from my scrap pieces, while also having the opportunity to learn from him, will continue to inspire me,” says the artist.
