Review of 'Mixed perceptions' by Adelia Ganson

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.

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

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."
