These paintings Victor Joel Ortega makes, the works he finally conquers, find their place on the canvas as though on the other side of an acidic fever. That strong, smelling fever you get that suddenly breaks you free of its hold....these images are what's left after the sweat and the shakes and the claws, what we could have become but didn't. Ortega's forms and sulfur-covered colors brush up against the briefest of brightness as they drag hope along. I am humbled to show his work and made smarter by his persistence as he forced my eyes open to another world. |
