67 X 100 

Jimmy Ortiz's painting, "67 X 100", presents a compelling arrangement of chromatic layers, inviting immediate contemplation. Bands of color—from the cool whites at the bottom, through the warm reds and oranges, to the purples at the top—divide the canvas, creating a landscape-like effect. The texture varies; notice how the lower white section has a smeared density, while the horizontal lines above appear almost sketched, challenging traditional depth and perspective. The piece engages with abstraction, disrupting familiar visual cues and asking us to question what we see. The tension between the flatness of the color fields and the implied depth pushes the work beyond mere representation. Ultimately, "67 X 100" uses color and composition to destabilize our expectations of landscape painting. It is a statement that provokes ongoing discussion about how we perceive and interpret visual information.
