Gabriel Orozco's diverse and playful practice, which includes sculpture, photography, painting and video, explores philosophical conundrums through random encounters and spatial relationships.
Using objects and situations taken from the contemporary urban environment, Orozco makes visible the poetry of chance connections and paradox. In his photographs, for example, found materials or scenarios are recorded - a ball of clay, a deflated football, an abandoned kite - that, through the artist's observation or intervention, convey extraordinary aspects in the seemingly everyday. His interest in mapping and geometry is evident in works such as The Atomists, a series of sporting images cut from newspapers, overlaid with coloured ellipses and spheres, forms that are an essential part of Orozco's artistic lexicon. More recently, in his paintings, Orozco has explored the phenomenology of structures, in which the symbol of the circle acts as a bridge between geometry and organic matter, and the sequencing of colour is based on the principles of movement within a game of chess.
