This event has ended.

Porter Contemporary presents We’ll Be Happier Tomorrow, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Lori Larusso.

The idea of happiness being tied to external consequences is the hallmark of Larusso’s We’ll be Happier Tomorrow launching her first solo exhibition at Porter Contemporary. Through shaped acrylic panels Larusso embarks on the American Dream revealing symbolically and metaphorically the twist to having such an unrealistic outlook.

Abstracted mundane interior and exterior scenes make up the basis of Larusso’s shaped acrylic panels, each one balancing painterly and sculptural effects. Dissections of reality and unreality sometimes are combined in multiple panels interacting with a whole idea. By including only the necessary information needed to complete the idea and composition, aspects of a specific situation or environment are isolated and brought to the forefront through Larusso’s unique presentation.
