“DIMENSIONAL ESCAPE” Cape Cod Museum of Art
“I was invited to participate in this exhibit by curator Samuel Tager. This show consisted in gathering a group of public muralists to showcase their “studio” work inside and outside the gallery. Large scale works/murals were installed around the museum. I personally installed a sculpture/painting indoors.”
“My installation merged sculptural elements into my mural. An idea that had been brewing for some years. I was particularly happy to be exploring a new direction in my artwork.”

“Murals That Expand Beyond the Walls”
“Ortiz, who shows at Rugosa Gallery in Eastham, also blurs the lines between two-dimensional and three-dimensional space in his colorful mural. At the center of the wall hangs a wooden form that he painted in bright saturated colors. Extending outward and onto the wall are painted shapes echoing the sculpture and the shadows it projects. The resulting image, although the most abstract in the exhibition, recalls the form of a bird. The association isn’t surprising, considering Ortiz’s previous work based on bird migration patterns.” -Abraham Storer
