GABRIEL OROZCO

Constantly on the move, without a studio set, he rejects the national or regional identifications, and draws its inspiration from the places where he lives and travel, through photography, sculpture, painting and video.

His work is characterised by a strong interest in the urban landscape and the human body. Incidents of everyday life and familiar, whose poetry is that of chance and paradox, feed his work. The boundaries between the art object and the everyday environment are deliberately blurred, art and reality deliberately mixed. The movement, expansion, circularity, the relationship between geometric and organic, are constants that animate his artistic research for over twenty years.

In 2019, Gabriel Orozco was chosen to orchestrate the transformation of Chapultepec Park in Mexico City into a nerve centre at the crossroads of art, culture, and nature.

Gabriel Orozco has had solo shows in the Museo Jumex, Mexico city (2025); the Noguchi Museum, New York (2019) ; XIII Bienal de la Habana, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de La Habana, La Habana (2019); Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, Japan (2015); Aspen Art Museum, U.S.A.
