Gabriel Orozco
The influential Mexican artist Gabriel Orozco (* 1962) makes use of many different kinds of materials and techniques. He has presented drawings, photographs, sound works, paintings, installations, and sculptures, while his works have been seen at documentas X and 11 and at the Venice Biennial.
Orozco appropriates everyday objects and transforms them through his interventions. Some of his works have an ostensibly playful aspect such as the twin ping-pong tables next to a lily-pad pond, Ping Pond Table (1998), or the absurdly comic chessboard, Horses Running Endlessly (1995), which is populated only by knights. Other works, such as the human skull covered in a checkerboard grid, Black Kites, are disturbing artifacts of sublime allure.
Orozcos works are set in that in-between area that links art and reality, deliberately blurring the boundaries between everyday and art objects.
