GRID-locked on Grand – a solo exhibition by Raul Ortiz

Ortiz’ current body of work, Compositions, exemplifies his exploration of painting by way of process — building up layers of pigment, random mark- making, overlapping shapes, textures, light, scale, incorporating documented images (gardens, flowers, trees, water, architectural elements, patterns, fabric, wallpaper) taken on walks during travels and around town, and the use of heightened-color interactions that are derived from the tradition of abstraction. Spontaneity plays a key role in reinterpreting/reframing and updating the landscape with a contrasting contemporary twist.

Gallery hours: Saturday 12-5 and by appointment
