“…strives to capture the rough, raucous, fun-loving, energetic and surprising qualities that run through Orozco's vast body of work.” -- Variety

(Avg. 3.5)
Gabriel Orozco (born 1962) is a Mexican artist, called "one of the most influential artists of this decade, and probably the next one too." He was born in Jalapa, Veracruz, Mexico and educated in the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas between 1981 and 1984. He then continued his education in Madrid at the Circulo de Bellas Artes between 1986 and 1987. A constant world traveler since 1991, Orozco and wife Maria Gutierrez, along with their son Simón, divide their time between Paris, New York and Mexico City.
