Opening Reception – Raúl Ortiz: WATERCOLOR WORKS
Attend the opening reception for Raúl Ortiz’s WATERCOLOR WORKS on Friday, November 8, from 6:00-9:00pm.
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.
