Copyright© Gabriel OrozcoMore Information
Orozco's varied artistic production ranges from sculpture to video art to photography. The artist, who presently lives and works in New York, often interrelates found objects and inconspicuous situations, combining them to prove that meaning does not lie in the objects themselves, but in their relationships to one another. Orozco created the scene in Extension of Reflection by riding his bicycle between two puddles after a storm, and photographing the temporary pattern his tires inscribed on the urban landscape. His ability to animate the everyday is a central theme in his works: "What I'm after is the liquidity of things, how one thing leads you to the next…The works are about concentration, intention, and paths of thought."
