Raúl Ortiz: WATERCOLOR WORKS
@ Epiphany Center for the Arts
201 S Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60607
Opening Friday, November 8th, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Friday, January 3rd
With a penchant for color and contrast, Ortiz combines a variety of colors, patterns, and forms from multiple sources such as ethnographic patterns (Native American pottery and baskets, Islamic tiles, and Italian mosaics), architectural elements (antique vent/register covers, tin ceiling tiles, stained glass windows, wallpaper, and African printed textiles), and botanical forms (florals – orchids, succulents, and most recently focusing on the rose). His finished paintings reflect a collage-like process of overlapping layering, obliterating, and refinement of images with decidedly contemporary color choices.
Ortiz’s Watercolor Works at the Sacristy Gallery, Epiphany Center for the Arts, is the first exhibition to solely feature his watercolors.
