Ortiz’s current paintings reflect his practice (in printmaking) of layering, obliterating and gradually focusing/refining a final image. Shooting hundreds of isolated compositions on walks around town, these images inform, and often-times unravel the images that spring out of his canvases as he adds to and peels away layers of paint. His work has always reflected a penchant for color and contrast.
