Octavio Ocampo:<br />
Metamorphic <strong>Art</strong><br />
Octavio Ocampo<br />
Octavio Ocampo is one of Mexico‘s most prolific artists.<br />
Born in 1943 in Guanajuato, Mexico, he grew up in a family<br />
of designers, and studied art from early childhood. Ruth<br />
Rivera, daughter of artist and muralist Diego Rivera, and<br />
Maria Luisa Mendoza encouraged him to attend the<br />
School of Painting and Sculpture of the National Fine<br />
<strong>Art</strong> Institute. At the <strong>Art</strong> Institute of San Francisco, he<br />
studied acting and dancing and pursued both a film and<br />
theatre career. In 1976, he began to devote himself solely<br />
to painting and sculpture. Ocampo is known for works<br />
that are sometimes wryly sardonic, evocative paintings<br />
in which detailed images are intricately woven together<br />
to create larger images - the optical illusions fading back<br />
and stepping forward as you study the pieces, notice the<br />
details, and finally recognize the large scale intention.<br />
This is what Octavio Ocampo terms his “metamorphic“<br />
style. Several collections in Mexico contain his work, and<br />
individual works of his have been commissioned for former<br />
President Jimmy Carter, Jane Fonda, Cher and others.<br />
