CHIA ORTEGON
Latin America's Celebrated Up and Coming Artist



Los Angeles, CA - November 21, 2002 - In January, Annie Su Gallery, Melrose Avenue's newest addition to the art community, welcomes the artistic insight of innovative and celebrated artist, Chia Ortegon. Recognized around the world as one of Latin America's leading up and coming artists, she has shown her new art in New York, Barcelona, and in several exhibitions in Florida. Ortegon will debut her Centers of Emotion and Water Sensual Universe series on January 16, 2003. They will remain on display for six weeks, at the Annie Su Gallery, located at 8254 Melrose Avenue, and open from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Chia Ortegon's work has been recognized internationally for their unique interplay of color and light, their manifestation of emotion, and their unique sensuality in a style she has grown to call "Organic Expressionism." Her Centers of Emotion series consists of ordinary objects rearranged in extraordinary ways in order to evoke an array of visual sensations. This series will be accompanied by Water Sensual Universe, a series of 60" by 40" acrylic and silk images on canvas. Earning rave reviews at exhibitions in New York and Florida, this series keeps the eyes moving through veils of color and feminine imagery in a body of artwork that is truly one of a kind.

Ortegon, originally from Bogota, Colombia, has studied, worked, and painted in Spain, Italy, Costa Rica, Colombia, and the United States, and has been mentored by such revered artist as Daniel De Angeli and Simona Dolci. Known as a truly unique, innovative, and cultured artist, Chia Ortegon says, "For me a piece of art has to touch, within every human being, that intimate part that craves for beauty."

Los Angeles art enthusiasts will have the opportunity to experience the artistic vision of Chia Ortegon at the Annie Su Gallery & Boutique between January 16th, 2002 and February 28th, 2003. The mission of the Annie Su Gallery is to provide artists from all walks of life and all forms of artistic perspective the limitless opportunity to showcase their work in the heart of the Los Angeles art community. Founder and Chairperson, Annie Su, relies on her unique partnership with non-profit organizations, such as Center Theatre Group Affiliates, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and Museum of Contemporary Art, to bring humanitarianism and philanthropy to the art scene. A percentage of all proceeds will be donated to a chose charitable organization.
