Raúl Ortiz: Abstract Landscapes

@ Chicago Public Library - Lincoln Belmont Branch

1659 W Melrose St, Chicago, IL 60657

On view through Tuesday, November 14th

Lincoln Belmont Branch hosts a Hispanic Heritage Month art exhibit featuring the work of local artist Raúl Ortiz.

Paintings from Ortiz’s exhibit Abstract Landscapes will be on display from September 1 through November 13.

Raúl Ortiz explores painting by way of process—building up layers of pigment, random mark-making, overlapping shapes, textures, light, scale, incorporating manipulated photocopies of photographs 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.
