Tierra and Land, 30x40in, o/c, by Daniel Ochoa

Two new paintings at Julie Nester Gallery. These are pastoral landscapes from West Sonoma County, California, where I grew up. The intent in the work is to illicit an emotional connection with place and time. Within the layers of paint there is writing describing specific memories, and a masking process is used to suggest multiple atmospheric conditions.

Study, charcoal on paper, 2010

Finished Painting and drawing study side by side. The painting is from 2009 and the drawing was done in 2010. I often revisit old reference photos and draw each day before painting.I consider doing multiple paintings of the same person but with a different approach.

Many of my paintings start with realistic charcoal studies. Drawing helps me get to know the realistic characteristics of the people I paint. During this process, I think about my connection to the person and how I want to translate those thoughts into a painting. This is a friend of mine Ross Bowns who is an artist in Northern California.

While Ochoa has followed a different path from his formative training, Tor Archer has embraced his early influences and expanded on them."

Figurative Perspectives

Featuring Sculptures by Tor Archer and Paintings by Daniel Ochoa

Opening Reception: December 29, 5:30-8pm

DANIEL OCHOA
The evocative figurative paintings from Daniel Ochoa show an artist that is adept at translating the mood of the subject, while his use of abstraction within his process provides a veil of ambiguity and gesture. Historically, Ochoa’s work has been heavily influenced by his experiences growing up in a bicultural and bilingual household.
Continuing to work within this perspective, Ochoa's new developments are the use of pixel emulation and writing in Spanish and English within the layers of paint. The work is about personal identity and shifting perspectives. The plurality of the imagery is apparent as the pixel, writing, abstraction and realistic rendering coexist within the layers of paint.

words in painting

2010-10-12T07:08:00.000-07:00

Earlier this year, I started incorporating written text within the layers of my work. The paintings often start out with pours and drips, and I write with oil stick after the first couple layers. The words are both in English and Spanish and interchange from word to word and sentence to sentence. I grew up in a family environment where English was the primary language at home, but at large family gatherings Spanish was spoken. I have a limited ability to speak Spanish, and there are still some awkward moments with extended family members who don't speak English.

The words I write in the layers tell stories, label, and describe emotions related to the imagery in the painting. Switching languages, confronts the process of translation. By repeating the same word such as "Ojo, Eye" written over the eye of a portrait, I suggest that perspective can be filtered through language. The use of this kind of written narrative suggests my mixed identity, and the complexity of meaning in language.

Link to Poets and Artists Magazine "IN PURSUIT"

This is the painting I included and below is a small section from Moya's poem

"The streets are adopting silence this night

Arches below arches
a tailored vein
a name, a street

shell stiffens like a mask
beneath the skin, coins are placed"

Here is a link to more of Erika Moya's work.

The pixel in painting

2010-10-05T20:05:00.001-07:00

Cambio Self Retrato, 48x36in, oil on canvas by Daniel Ochoa

Recently, I began incorporating pixel emulation in my work. This came about because I read The Post Modern Turn by Best and Kellner. The reading prompted me to question the formal qualities in my work. The realistic depiction of objects and abstract techniques are both identified with modern artists. I saw the pixel as a sign of the postmodern because it did not exist before the 1960's, which as the authors suggest is when the post modern turn began to take place.

When I was in high school in 1998, I took a photography class using 'real film' and learned how to develop the film with a chemical process. I used traditional cameras for about five more years and saw the transition to digital cameras. Now in 2010, almost all imagery in television, computer, and cameras use pixel technology to produce images. I use digital cameras exclusively and rely on digital software to view, edit and print the images I prepare for paintings. By incorporating the suggestion of pixels in my work, I am appropriating a product of technology that permeates our environment. In my work, I explore how to pluralize perspectives and the destruction of the hi-res or 'real looking' image to the pixel re-identifies the perception of the imagery.

The pixelated photo above is a reference I used for the painting "Cambio Self Retrato".

Review of 'Mixed perceptions' by Adelia Ganson

2010-07-20T22:09:00.000-07:00

Adelia Ganson recently wrote a review of 'Mixed Perceptions' which took place at Blue Gallery in June 2010. Below is a link to the full article.

http://ereview.org/2010/07/20/form-emphasis-from-fragments/

Here is a exert from Adelia Ganson's write up...

'The compositions reference vivisection, with human forms fractured and fragmented, their organic foundation clearly visible. Some create a visual collage of additional elements, and others confront the challenge of selective removal. Through these articulations and strong visual associations with the human self, Ochoa challenges the viewer to confront who they are, or perhaps, what they are not. '

Write up in The Salt Lake Tribune by Ben Fulton

http://www.sltrib.com/

Here is a section of Ben Fulton's article

"National artists on display, such as Brooklyn-based painter Daniel Ochoa, deconstruct identity in even more radical ways. Ochoa’s large-scale self-portrait obfuscates his face in aggressive brushes of orange-red, and with undecipherable words seeping into an eye socket, a portion of the head and a corner of the chin. The effect is both placid and unsettling."

Excerpt from write up in 15 Bytes by Geoff Wichert- click for full article

"The artist does not determine art’s function. Society does, and as the age of art that celebrates the corporation and its financial beneficiaries implodes from its own corruption, art may once again permit us to share the vision of those who see more clearly and speak more universally. It’s not that Daniel Ochoa wants to fit his human subjects into a predetermined mold. Rather, he explores the qualities of the individual face, the particular limb, the precise motion, in confidence that his explorations will yield specific facts that will tell us things that are true of all humanity."
