[7] High+Low, A Forty-Five Year Retrospective of the art of D. Dominick Lombardi, curated by T. Michael Martin, opened at the Clara M. Eagle Gallery in western Kentucky’s Murray State University on August 15, 2019.

In his catalogue essay, curator Martin writes: “Lombardi’s masterful mix of high and low culture is as current as the day it was created, showing how little the aesthetics of human behavior have changed.

A suggested glimpse into an apocalyptic breakdown of society, where we are allowed to emerge charged, reconfigured, and prepared to push forward, is a cunning execution where questions flow and commentary is made as the viewer reexamines the world revealed around them.”[8] In relationship to his long career in the arts as a visual artist, art writer and curator, George Mason University in Fairfax, VA invited Lombardi to participate in their series of professional lectures collectively titled Visual Voices.

The first exhibition in 2008, was held at Blue Star Contemporary Art Center in San Antonio, TX, titled “The Post Apocalyptic Tattoo: A Ten Year Survey”.
