Gabriel Orozco is a Mexican artist and is considered to be “one of the most influential artists of this decade.” Gabriel Orozco is a unique artist that seems to love taking unique shapes and objects and creating an interesting piece of work.
In this first piece by Orozco, he uses the shapes of hexagons that form an extended looking soccer ball. I really like this piece of work because its different from anything I have ever seen. I’m not sure where his viewpoint actually comes from but I like that he changes the ordinary. Soccer is also my favorite sport so this really stood out to me.
In Orozco’s piece, called Black Kites, he uses the shapes of black diamonds and squares placed all overall a human skull. To many, a human skull may look gross or scare certain people but the black squares and diamonds make the piece of work fun and playful. It looks as though this skull good be used at a playhouse or circus.
This last piece by Orozco is my favorite. It is an actually car that is taken apart in thousands of pieces. The pieces look as though they are floating freely in thin air but if you look hard enough you can see the millions of pieces of string used to hold all this different pieces. With the pieces all taken apart, you can notice all the unique shapes of different sizes. It is absolutely incredible.
