The "Island Bungalow" Series

Tropical surrealism oils featuring bold colors and broad

brush strokes in artist hand-crafted frames by

R. W. KIRCHER

'Garden Window'	'Afternoon Sun'

"TROPICAL SURREALISM"

      A self-proclaimed storyteller, Kircher loves words and what they can do,  along with the power of visuals and the emotions they generate.

He is a renowned international marketer and advertising

professional, a producer, director, filmmaker, writer,

  novelist and columnist.  He is also a painter whose

style is what he calls 'tropical surrealism.'  Using

 bold colors and broad brush strokes, he paints

as passionately as he writes or creates

TV commercials ... very cinematically.

Well-known as an innovative

thinker and creative conceptualist

who is attracted to the excitement of new thought

and the challenge of  doing something different, he likes

going against conventional thinking by flipping the rock over

and looking at it from a different perspective. His dynamic paintings

are another way for him to express his attraction to words and visuals.

  Kircher has a thirst for exploring the everchanging layers and textures in life, whether through writing, or visual interpretation.   He believes that it is the notion of what is beautiful, or artistic, that makes all of us so interesting. As reflected in Kircher's works of art featuring bold colors and broad brush strokes, things have to look right ... not balanced ... just have a purpose

Originals & Prints

of the late

T O M   L O T T A

Artisans' Loft is pleased to announce the addition of oils, watercolors and prints from the estate of professional artist, Tom Lotta ... a widely known Rochester area designer, illustrator, portraitist, landscape artist and

specialist in corporate art. He was also a past president of the

Rochester Art Club, affiliated with the American Watercolor

Socity and the Rockport Art Associaion,  a respected

businessman, instructor and championship boxer.

Distinguished at an early age for having a talent in art,  Lotta's painting and architectural renderings demonstrate both sensitivity and

strength. His love for the outdoors inspired many of his

paintings. A self-described realist and romantic

painter, Tom's work reflects the freedom

he liked to see in his work.

Born in 1924 and remembered as one of the area's most versatile artists, Tom expressed his talent in almost every graphic medium. His paintings adorn the walls of many area homes, galleries, banks, corporate headquarters and private collections.  During his lifetime, which

ended in 2008, Tom's commercial and fine art won many awards

throughout his career as an artist.   A graduate of the

Rochester Institute of Technology, he is credited

for eliminating the line between the

commercial and the fine arts.

Currently, original works of art from Tom's collection
available at Artisans' Loft include:

'King Street' ... Street by the Sea

'Upcoming Storm' ... Gloucester, MA
'Gloucester' ... Dry Dock
'Naples, NY Landscape'
'Good Harbor Beach' ... Gloucester, MA
'Newport Cove' ... Irondequoit Bay
'Edge of the Woods' ... Ellison Park, Rochester, NY
'Plymouth Avenue' ... Rochester, NY

Tom Lotta prints of 'Sailing at Charlotte' & 'Sodus Bay' are also available.
