Carlos Ortúzar Worthington was born on March 17, 1935 in Santiago, Chile.
He studied theater, law and philosophy. He entered the School of Fine Arts of the University of Chile in 1956, where he had as teachers Gustavo Carrasco, Marta Colvin and Gregory of the Source.
In 1964 he won the Fullbright Scholarship to study at the Pratt Institute and The New School of Social Research in New York, where he spent about three years. Later, in 1970, he obtained an "invitation" scholarship and returned for a few months to the United States to the Center For Advanced Visual Study M.I.T. in Boston, where he experienced a closer approach to science, cybernetics and physics, knowledge that he will later apply to his artistic production.
Within his academic and administrative duties, in 1962 he assumed the position of Secretary of the Museum of Contemporary Art of the University of Chile in Santiago, under the direction of Nemesio Antúnez. In 1966 he joined the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Chile as a teacher, a place where he taught courses in Materials Technology and Plastic Composition: art, shape and color, until 1973.
After the coup d'état in Chile, Carlos Ortúzar was self-exiled in Barcelona where he will learn of his exoneration as a professor at the University of Chile. In the latter city he worked as a Volume teacher at the Barcelona EINA University Center for Design and Art.
He returned to Chile in 1979 and until his death in 1985 and worked as a professor at the School of Fine Arts and at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Chile and others private universities such as the Central University of Santiago.
At the beginning of his artistic career, his work was linked to a language closer to material painting, that is, closer to Informalism, with works whose main topics were landscape, local myths, pre-Columbian and archeology. Subsequently, he began to venture into and experiment with new technologies and industrial materials such as polymers and metal. Likewise, he incorporated light and movement into his works, which led him to be recognized as a kinetic artist in the production of two-dimensional pieces and sculptures. Experimented with moving parts activated by environmental changes, or directly powered by motors.
One of his most emblematic sculptures is the General Schneider monument (1971), in which two elevated triangular-based steel prisms, located in turn on a circular base, face each other, This work is located on Kennedy Avenue with Américo Vespucio in the city of Santiago.
In addition, the artist took his sculptural work of volumes and geometric prisms characteristic of the second stage of his work, to the flat space of the painting, generating abstract compositions with metal pieces lacquered to pyroxylin and meticulously adjusted. In this same line of work, Ortúzar also carried out the work of designer of objects, jewelry and lamps.
In 1968 he created the Integrated Design Workshop for architecture (also called DI), and invited Eduardo Martínez Bonati e Ivan Vial to participate in it, later he would join as a member Angelica Quintana. The objective of this workshop was to privilege collective work over individual creation and introduce a social conception of art, so that it was available to everyone in the public space and integrated with architecture. Proof of this is the mural made in the Low level pass of Saint Lucia (1970) in Santiago, Chile.
He died on April 25, 1985 in Santiago, Chile.
