Anna Ortiz
"DUAL CITIZEN", oil painting on panel, two heads, faces, rose, pink, landscape

2019

About the Item

DUAL CITIZEN, an oil painting on panel by Anna Ortiz, depicts a mysterious two-headed totem in the middle of a landscape both strange and familiar – painted in rose and pink tones, with rock and scrub, the edge of a forest and mountains in the background. DUAL CITIZEN was featured in the group show Smudge, at Partners and Son gallery, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 2019. From Anna Ortiz – "Dual Citizen is a personal painting on how I recently finalized my Mexican citizenship. The duality of my citizenship seems an entryway into considering what life would have been like growing up in Mexico as my father did. What experiences could other versions of ourselves teach us about empathy? Did we inadvertently choose our own fate, or is the universe directing us one way or another?" Anna Ortiz (born in Worcester MA, currently living in Brooklyn NY) is a painter primarily focused on creating socio-psychological landscapes. Her work reflects on global issues through painterly collapses and constructions. Ortiz received a BA/BFA from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. During her undergraduate years, she spent a year studying at the Louvre in Paris. Ortiz completed her MFA at Tyler School of Art, spending her second year in Rome Italy. Her work has been exhibited at Proto Gomez, Transmitter, Tiger Strikes Asteroid, Partners and Son and Lesley Heller, New York.

"Fence Jumper", oil painting, figurative, boy, flight, field, outside, summer
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"Fence Jumper" is an oil painting with chalk and graphite on wood panel, and measures 16" high by 12" wide. It is finished with a clear resin across the surface, lending the artwork a particular warmth and liquidity that is rare and lovely to behold. Typical of the artist, the painting is a mystery despite its apparent simplicity – a boy, a young lad leaps over the fence, seen here mid-flight. It's clearly important to the boy. His focus and sense of achievement ring out. Drawn lines and painterly brushstrokes render the scene, but also note the toned wood coming through as color and texture. All of it held, as if in time, by the resin layer acting as a lens to both transmit this picture and admit light to the picture. A true artifact. From Will Hudson...

"Outskirts", acrylic painting, duality, nature, humanity, chaos, dream, myth
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"Outskirts" is an acrylic painting with collage elements on canvas, measuring 38" high by 44" wide. There's nowhere to hide in any of William's paintings, that's part of the charge coming off his canvases. That's particularly true with this painting – we immediately see that everything is wrong, hands coming out of trees, a human head on a horse or dog. Yes it's Mythic but even there it's wrong, the legs are impossibly crossed. In fact little of this painting can be true and yet here it is. Out of control, left over and residual ways and means of living life. Who or what are we now? Press Release 2018: "Williams acknowledges a large range of influences on his vision: the moral lessons embodied in the works of 17th century engraver Jacques Lagniet, the darkling phantasms and tragic reportage of Goya’s Caprichos...

"Falling Figure", acrylic painting, red devil, dream, myth, poetry, flight
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"Falling Figure" is an acrylic painting on canvas measuring 16" high by 16" wide. The title may be somewhat disingenuous – falling figure indeed – with cloven hoofs, red skin and horns on head suggesting a demon's fall from grace. The demon? Mythic and humanitarian all at once, the figure appears to be wearing stylish shorts and gives the thumbs up sign on the way down. Perhaps an all too familiar predicament as we tumble toward our own destinies... Press Release 2018: "Williams acknowledges a large range of influences on his vision: the moral lessons embodied in the works of 17th century engraver Jacques Lagniet, the darkling phantasms and tragic reportage of Goya’s Caprichos and Disasters of War, and the personal mythologizing of the late paintings of Philip Guston. Such works echo throughout Williams social surrealist re-visioning." – George Del Barrio, Vanderbilt Republic, Brooklyn NY Dale Williams has exhibited in the New York City area for the past 25 years. He is a 2014 recipient of a Fellowship in Printmaking/Drawing/Book Arts from the New York Foundation for the Arts. His most recent one-person show, “America Now Suite,” which re-visioned American history in service of the civic imagination, was held at Gowanus Loft, Brooklyn in October 2018. A selection of portraits from “America Now Suite” was included in the BRIC Biennial, Winter/Spring 2019. His portrait of Osip Mandelstam...
