Career
His work Spirit of the Downhill Skier was included in the official United States Olympic Committee collection of 2006 Winter Olympics commemorative art pieces. His 3-d line works, a form of low relief that is the exact opposite of an etching-where everything else is taken away and only the lines are carved out and raise from the surface, have also been exhibited at the Supperclub in San Francisco and were included in a fund-raising event by Home Away from Homeless in 2006. His work is included in Wareham Development"s Emeryville Station East (5885 Hollis Avenue in downtown Emeryville)-one of the leading centers for alternative fuel research in the United States.
Beginning in 2008, Lattanzio began painting with light.
Lattanzio’s lights bleed into the ambient space surrounding the art itself. The LED lights and the space the lights illuminates, create a rare but soothing type of pictorial wall space.
His personalized 3-Doctorate line art combined with his facility with light and the interplay of colors and shadows, elicited out loud responses like “Whoa!, from guests at his recent opening. My work begins with the imagery of people, places and things I find in my digital camera.
I reduce the image to simple lines…in ink and then applying the sketched image to flat surfaces/planes of Magyar Demokrata Forum (Hungarian Democratic Forum) wood that are carved on my Excalibur scroll saw and built up from a flat base.
