Gabriel Orozco's work has had a wide-reaching impact on contemporary art practice. Known for his wanderings through many countries, in both urban and natural environments, Orozco (b. 1962) has worked without a studio since the late 1980s.
He has transformed found objects and situations through subtle but radical interventions and has created enigmatic
and intimate works that reveal his thought processes.
The Serpentine's exhibition focuses on specific themes and ideas that have been cornerstones of Orozco's career in order to reveal key aspects of his visual vocabulary. The selection of works, made in close collaboration with the artist, articulates the rationale behind his working practice, which is based on the intermingling of geometric patterns and mechanical structures with organic and often handmade elements. Conceived as a complete environment for the Serpentine, the exhibition features a selection of both new and existing sculptures, drawings and photographs.
