The Mennello Museum of American Art will present a new exhibition at the end of the month that examines the rich and vibrant history of three Central Florida artists who have had a profound impact on the local arts scene; Mernet Larson, Steve Lotz, and Bruce Marsh.
The three artists will be showcased in an exhibition entitled The Original Influencers: Central Florida’s Pioneering Professors – Mernet Larson, Steve Lotz, and Bruce Marsh, running from January 31 to May 25, 2025.
“Mernet Larsen depicts monumentalized memories of geometric figures, landscapes, and objects compacted into proportional, non-organic configurations. Steve Lotz is a self-described Organic Imaginative artist whose paintings represent the visual symbology of his unconscious self. Bruce Marsh is a naturalistic painter interested in the drama of seeing through light and shadow in both natural and manmade landscapes. Together, these artists
represent an era of pioneering mentorship and artistic practices that endure.”
Katherine Page, Curator Art and Education and exhibition curator states “I am excited to showcase the paintings of Mernet Larsen, Bruce Marsh, and Steve Lotz at the Mennello Museum. The three artists have such remarkable styles to depict the world around them demonstrating a deep, almost sacred, appreciation for nature, humanity, and our connections therein. While their approaches and subject matters diverge from one another yielding three singular presentations, their devotion to showing us and their students a new way of viewing is
remarkable and unparalleled.”
