When Japanese high-tech meets Mexican low-tech: Gabriel Orozco’s new show in London

Gabriel Orozco is unarguably one of the most important and prolific contemporary Mexican artists of the last two decades. Besides this, he could also be defined as a nomad artist and, why not, as a nice human with the ability to talk about his work in a very amiable way. He is a traveller by nature and it is probably this, combined with his Mexican roots, what makes his work genuine and authentic. Orozco’s series of works can be understood as an expression of his vital experiences and as the materialisation of what he learns from people and places he meets on the way. He lets himself to be inspired by the environment surrounding him, with an honest interest that is then captured in his oeuvre.

The Courtauld Gallery has been housing a ground-breaking exhibition on the painter’s drawings since last February. It reconstructs, for the first time, a whole Goya album in its original sequence. The album D is thought to have been made between 1819 and 1823. It is the most mysterious and less known of all the albums and it has the least clear objective. Lunatics, witches and magic are mixed together with popular topics leaving us with the sense of a disturbing reality.

While Kapoor fills the space with colour and energy through his visually stunning works in bold and bloody red, which connect immediately to our most primary senses, Lee forces us to slow down, to really spend time in the room surrounded by the pieces, to gradually be translated to a peaceful place and experience a feeling of emptiness.
