His career started in the 1990s as a writer for the newspaper,
La Jornada and El Nacional. Since the start of his career, Luis Felipe Ortega has worked on many publication throughout his careers. Some of these books are editorial projects, book projects, and/or catalogues from previous exhibits. The exhibition uses photographs and videos as its medium, which catches and highlights a person's daily-life activities.
Nothing Else (2001) His exhibit titled,
Nothing Else took place in New York, United States at the International Studio and Curatorial Program (ISCP), which supports the artist, curators through their residence and public programs. Ortega was a resident artist for the international Studio and Curatorial Program (ISCP) in 2002.
Inverted Horizon (2010) This exhibit took place at the Museo de la Ciudad de Mexico. According to the artist, this exhibition is "...the search for a line and the relationship that the observer forms with it." The exhibition takes place a room with a white line on the walk, which is at an eye level. It "investigates the tensions that exist between artistic conventions and the subjectivity of the creator: it proposes a certain tension between
conceptual art and the technical knowledge necessary to materialize an idea."
Notes for an Inclusion of Silence (2013) In 2013 Luis Felipe Ortega had an exhibit in Ciudad de Mexico, Mexico at the Marso Galeria, an independent curatorial initiative and art gallery focused on highlighting contemporary artist around the world. According to Marcela Quiroz, " Ink and graphite drawings in a variety of formats suggest basic geometries, showing that the artist is just as empathetic and clever in his treatment of empty space as he is persistent at inventing/discovering, amid those myriad traces within each stroke, almost invisible volumes—indeed, even movement." The artist opted out on his usual cinematic approach used graphite on paper as his medium for this show.
Landscape and Geometry (for P.P.P) (2017) In 2017, he had a solo exhibit titled
Landscape and Geometry (for P.P.P) in
Oaxaca, Mexico at the Centro de Las Artes de San Agustin (CASA). His work can be viewed in a room where multiple strings are tied to numerous poles inside the building. That same year, he exhibited at the Museo Experimental el Eco in Mexico City, Mexico where his work,
Regarding the Edge of Things was featured.
...y luego se tornará resquicio (2022) Ortega's latest exhibit titled,
...y luego se tornará resquicio, took place in Puebla, Mexico City at
Museo Amparo from February 5, 2022 - May 23, 2023. Luis Felipe Ortega highlights his interest in time and space with this exhibit as he "...deals with producing liminal spaces in which the materials and techniques of execution become fundamental: both the scale of the pieces, as well as the material of each one of them carry with them a specific work that allows a peculiar imagination of the time invested in its realization. == Education ==
