In No Big Hurry 

Joseph Lorusso painted "In No Big Hurry" using oil on canvas. At first glance, the subdued color palette and soft brushstrokes evoke a sense of calm and nostalgia, almost like a faded memory. The composition is carefully structured; the horizontal line of the car's roof bisects the canvas, creating a division between the figures and the sky. This division emphasizes the figures' relationship with the car as a space of contemplation. Notice how Lorusso uses the frame of the car window and the sunglasses as devices that mediate our view. They create a visual barrier, suggesting a deeper narrative about observation and detachment. The lack of sharp lines or a clear focal point contributes to the relaxed, almost dreamlike quality of the piece, inviting us to reflect on themes of leisure and perception. By embracing ambiguity, Lorusso prompts us to consider how our own experiences and perspectives shape our understanding of the world.
