Leonardo Lanzolla's swimmers (La Bagnanti) are making a big splash at B2 Fine Art Gallery in Tacoma's Triangle District. If you saw Lanzolla's paintings in his last show at B2, that was just a warm-up. The paintings in this show are far superior.
The lyrical forms, the ways in which he inventively makes Picasso-esque figures his own, his color combinations - and primarily his use of a variety of paint application techniques from layering and scratching into heavy impasto to delicate washes, add up to some very impressive art.
"BATHERS OF THE SUN, BATHERS OF THE MOON," 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday, till 8 p.m. Third Thursdays, through Aug. 10, B2 Fine Art Gallery, 711 St. Helens Ave., Tacoma, 253.238.5065
