Artist's Reception

March 26th, 2011

6 - 8 pm

(Exhibit runs 3/22 - 4/9)

Noted for his bold use of color, Ortega's paintings and oil prints emanate primal energy. His prominent, large canvasses reveal a dynamic world populated with vibrant forms and figures barely contained within their frames. A master monoprint maker, Ortega's vivid oil prints of figures, landscapes, and portraits are animated by an unabashed freedom of form and color and a daring love of life. 

Born in Philadelphia , Alfred Ortega studied painting and sculpture at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Ortega has exhibited at the Woodmere Museum , is represented in the permanent collection of the Pennsylvania State Museum and in private collections.
