From New York City to San Diego to Cleveland, there are vibrant neighborhoods known as Little Italy, where Italian-American culture and cuisine are celebrated. Artists Lorraine Loots and Dina Brodsky, both known for creating intricate work on a small scale, embarked on a journey to Italy to explore this theme through their art.

Their collaborative exhibition, titled “Little Italy,” is currently on display at Paradigm Gallery + Studio. The exhibition showcases their trip to Italy through miniature paintings. Loots specializes in watercolor, while Brodsky works with oil paint. Together, they capture the essence of Italy, from its landscapes and architecture to its iconic food and cultural symbols like Vespas, pizza, and the Colosseum. Loots’ framed works measure only five inches across, while Brodsky’s tiny tondos encapsulate vast landscapes within a three-inch diameter surface.

Brodsky and Loots, who are based in Massachusetts and South Africa respectively, first connected during the pandemic due to their shared interest in working on a small scale. Their trip to Italy allowed them to experience the country through their unique perspectives and memories. Brodsky, who was born in Belarus and emigrated to the U.S. as a refugee, spent time in Italy during her family’s relocation. The country’s picturesque countryside and ancient architecture left a lasting impression on her.

On the other hand, Loots has always been fascinated by Italy’s architectural and cultural heritage. During their trip, she wandered through the cobblestone streets and plazas with two film cameras, capturing moments that she later used as references for her tiny watercolor paintings.

In “Little Italy,” Loots’ photographs and Brodsky’s sketchbooks offer a glimpse into the artists’ creative process and experiences in Italy. The exhibition runs through August 24 in Philadelphia, and more information can be found on Paradigm Gallery + Studio’s website.

The miniature paintings in the exhibition capture various aspects of Italy, from iconic landmarks like the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain to everyday objects like a Vespa and a coffee percolator. Each painting tells a story and evokes the charm and beauty of Italy, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the artists’ unique perspective on the country.

Overall, “Little Italy” is a testament to the power of art to transport us to different places and cultures, allowing us to experience the beauty and richness of Italy through the eyes of two talented artists.
