'LA II: ODE 2 NYC' Features New Work from Artist Angel Ortiz

All Of It with Alison Stewart | May 17, 2023

Angel Ortiz, aka LA II, is a New York City-based artist known for his style of densely packed graffiti made up of glyghs and geometric symbols. Through the 1980s, he frequently collaborated with the artist Keith Haring, after meeting when Ortiz was only 13. New work by Ortiz is on display starting today at Chase Contemporary, in the exhibition, LA II: ODE 2 NYC. Ortiz joins us along with curator Christopher Pusey to talk about the show and his career.
