Photomontage
An exhibition record spanning portrait montage, digital art and surreal collage.
Historical ArtworkThe dated exhibition record
Photomontage appears repeatedly in Steven Ochs’s archived artist CV. The record begins with Photomontage Portraits at Trapeze in Seattle in 2001, then names Photomontage at Magidson Gallery in Aspen in 2004, Photomontages at Blue Leaf Gallery in Dublin in 2006, and Photomontages Surreal at Art Elements in Newberg in 2010.
The practice continued in Montajes in Buenos Aires and digital-art exhibitions in Madrid and Caracas in 2002, followed by Arte Digital in Maracaibo in 2003. Portraits, objects and landscapes became material for compositions that shift familiar subjects into unexpected relationships.

From montage to layered art
Later Stereo Layering combines photomontage with artificial intelligence and physical layers to create an illusion of depth in person. SteamPotVille is a separate illustrated story whose 2010 archive preserves digital collage images. Those later projects show how collage continued in his practice after the early exhibitions.
The complete History page retains all dated CV entries, including additional digital-art and Surreal Montages listings.
