"The See-Through Horse," collage, 2010
Amalgamation is the process of combining or uniting multiple entities into one form. Ochoa's work does exactly that -- his imagery draws from various mystical, religious and folklore traditions, and his method combines various media, including acrylic and watercolor paint, ink, and scrapbooking paper. These highly-detailed and multi-dimensional layered works draw the viewer into the many planes (both physical and imaginary) of Ochoa's other-worldly dreamscapes. "Amalgamations" will also feature Ochoa's drawings on tracing paper, thereby offering viewers a rare opportunity to gain understanding of an artist's process simultaneous with the presentation of the finished works.
