Mi Frontera Es Su Frontera September 3, 2010

Denver artist Tony Ortega has long been renowned for chronicling the richness of the Chicano experience. He utilizes his signature style of bold coloration, simplified forms, anonymous figures and cultural icons to explore community life, family, urban and rural sectors, youth culture, popular culture and cultural politics. Through monotypes, serigraphs, charcoal drawings and a mural installation we get a glimpse of the melding of histories, traditions, culture and politics of our ever expanding and diversified population.
