Ocampo's startling Untitled (Burnt Out Europe) could be an updated take on Hieronoymus Bosch's vision of Hell. A winged Christ hovers over two swastikas as a death camp swarms with satanic figures. Ocampo's rich colors of warm crimson, grey, black, brown and gold are borrowed directly from the Spanish masters--and completes this apocalyptic vision of a world gone mad. Ironically, his nightmarish visions are rooted in reality and his frightening tableaux become uncanny icons to the brutality of the past and present. His paintings convey such an emotional intensity that his grab bag of leaded symbols, words and imagery are seamlessly joined together in a contemporary Twilight Zone.
