About Frank Ordaz - Artist Frank Ordaz is primarily known for his bravura portraiture, compelling figurative work and luminous landscapes. He is attracted to definitive, iconic scenery that he endows with a luminosity that enhances its sense of visual character and transcendent appeal. He paints the visceral memory of places.Frank attended the University of Southern California and graduated from the Art Center College of Design in 1980. He began painting for George Lucasʼs special effects company Industrial Light and Magic where he worked on such Oscar-winning motion pictures as "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” and “Return of the Jedi.” In 1986, he was recognized with a Primetime Emmy Award for his matte paintings in “The Ewok Adventure”
In 2006, Frank was selected by First Lady Laura Bush to be the featured artist for the White House Easter Egg Roll. His painting formerly hung in her East Wing Office, and is now in the permanent collection of the George W. Bush Library. As a juried member of the California Art Club, he has participated in the Gold Medal Show, and has also received awards from the International Art Renewal Competition.
His painting style is heavily influenced by his time working on cinematic movie features. He has continued the tradition of early California Artists in painting in the field and learning firsthand the qualities and mysteries of light.
