Errol Ortiz: Headspace

Despite producing hundreds of paintings over the span of seventy-plus years, Chicago Imagist Errol Ortiz has received too little attention from the wider art world. This observational documentary surveys Ortiz as he works on a new painting from start to finish, while musing on his art school days, the influence of the cityscape, and the challenges of working as an aging artist. Part of "4x4: Contemporary Art in Chicago" - Season 1
