If Dot's were a park rather than a cafe, we would be the park depicted in this painting by @brianlotti called Saturdays. It's stunning in photos, and captivating in person, and that's why it's hanging up in Dot's. Come see for yourself.
Finally got to see @brianlotti NIGHTFALLS show at @lalomagallery in person. Haunting and gorgeous. Catch it by August 30 if you are in the LA/ Highland Park area.
NIGHTFALLS, my new exhibition of nocturne paintings, is open this afternoon at @lalomagallery .

Please join us this Saturday evening, July 19, 5-8pm at @lalomagallery for the opening of my solo show NIGHTFALLS :
Lotti’s paintings are mediations on the liquid Ambien haze of the city at night. He renders Los Angeles, and friends, in soft neon blur: the sodium burn of apartment windows, streetlights, lovers in recline. These are scenes of quiet erosion. People dissolve into the reservoir and the glowing hillsides behind them.
The city after hours, in Lotti’s hand, refuses to cohere. The Capitol Records Building juts through smog; the Hollywood Hills flatten into silhouette. These paintings conjure Ernst Kirchner’s urban elongations, but this is not early modern Berlin. LA’s unholy mixture of the urban and suburban, the infinitely recursive nature of its neighborhoods, is here quietly rendered and cherished. Lotti’s surfaces preserve the night’s—and Los Angeles’s—refusal to be fully known.
