Joe Lugara

Joe Lugara took up painting and photography as a boy after his father discarded them as hobbies. His works depict odd forms and objects, inexplicable phenomena, and fantastic dreamscapes, taking as their basis horror and science fiction films produced from the 1930s through the late 1960s.

Mr. Lugara's work has appeared in more than 20 publications and numerous exhibitions in the New York Metropolitan Area. His watercolor paintings were featured in the winter 2023 issue of The Harvard Advocate and his photos in the summer '23 Denver Quarterly. His first photography book, The Indicators: 127 Sci-Fi Scenes, is available through Barnes and Noble.
