Abstractions is co-curated by Duane Lucia and Tony Savarino, and features 30 photographs and mixed media drawings. The photographs document a year-long collaboration between Lucia and Savarino which captures the convergence and divergence of planes of movement through multiple exposure imagery. Paola Savarino’s drawings, discovered two years after her death, trace a progression of what begin as still life drawings of sunflowers, into what she termed Sunflower Sutras.
“Duane and I had practiced martial arts together for a number of years and wanted to document it for a painting and sculpture project we were working on,” said Savarino, “Along the way, we discovered a multi exposure setting in the camera and just went with it!”
Lucia has practiced and taught traditional martial arts since 1972; he has changed the nuance enough to consider it a new style, and subsequently has passed the art-form on to future generations. With four albums and too many studio sessions to keep track of, Tony Savarino is an accomplished guitarist and teacher; mostly known as band leader of the Savtones. Both Lucia and Savarino see art as a continuum with license to change medium at will. Lucia is as comfortable working in mixed media or film as he is doing his martial arts, while Savarino can be found with his Leica camera often photographing his audience, students or bandmates.
“After Paola passed away, I took over her studio and started to catalog her work, which included her sketchbooks,” said Lucia, “I found a series of drawings which start out as recognizable sunflowers and progressively morph into her stylized abstract images. When we discovered the larger corresponding mixed media drawings rolled up in a box, our immediate thought was to exhibit them.”
Early in Savarino’s career, she illustrated Charles Bukowski’s poem, “The Genius of the Crowd.” In the 1980s, she became known for her large abstract canvases and more recently her encaustic mixed media Buddhas. She received numerous awards over the course of her career, including a Museum of Fine Arts Fifth Year Grant and an endowment from the WBZ-TV Fund for the Arts to create one of the first large arts projects—a billboard painting—in Fort Point. Her paintings are part of the permanent collection at The Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University.

Daniel Pearl World Music Days is an international network of concerts that use the power of music to reaffirm our commitment to tolerance and humanity. Since 2002, Daniel Pearl World Music Days has grown to include the participation of more than 13,900 performances in 140 countries. World Music Days is an awareness-raising program, not a fundraiser.
Daniel Pearl World Music Days was created in response to the 2002 kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl at the hands of extremists in Karachi, Pakistan. Danny's family and friends came together to work towards a more humane world, forming the Daniel Pearl Foundation. The mission of the Foundation is to promote cross-cultural understanding through journalism, music, and innovative communications.
Danny was a talented musician who joined musical groups in every community in which he lived, leaving behind a long trail of musician-friends spanning the entire world. Commemorating Danny's October 10th birthday, World Music Days uses the universal language of music to encourage fellowship across cultures and build a platform for "Harmony for Humanity."
The Lizard Lounge is a 21+ venue. We have a full bar, 30 beers on draft, and serve our full dinner menu until late every night.
