His works are usually large format; the largest at this show is 93 by 68 inches.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibit titled <em>The Sources<\/em> will feature selected works assembled from his 57-year art career. Some date to 1973, when he had a show at the museum while it was known as Loch Haven Art Center. Some of the other, newer works in the show have never been shown.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Sources<\/em> title comes from the origin of Lotz\u2019 paintings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t consider myself to be a realist; I am an organic inventive. Everything has always come from an unconscious level,\u201d Lotz said. \u201cI have never been a person who works toward an absolutely clear image of what I\u2019m going to do. I work out of doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The artist said he paints things that are spiritual but with images people understand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see these images that I have to do,\u201d he said. \u201cSpiritually everything in the cosmos is closely related to everything else. It\u2019s all connected. I still try to paint things that people recognize but they come out of what [psychiatrist] Carl Jung called the Self. Others may call it the soul.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His works, often with floral components and symbols, are expressions of his spiritual connections to the world, to nature and to the cosmos.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After starting the UCF art department, Lotz was the chairman of the department for the first 10 years. During his career at UCF he established a successful career as an artist and instructor. The upcoming solo show is presented in conjunction with the community celebration, <em>Art Legends of Orange County.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Orlando Museum of Art is at 2416 N.
