Thought i would blog about Becky and I going to the Tate as it might inspire us,if not for the group project then maybe others.
I enjoyed the Orozco exhibition, especially as he has experimented with so many ranges of materials and forms.
As well as the skull,there were drawings,paintings,installations,a car, a lift, tyres, obituries and many more!
My favorite amongst a few were the Solar Graphite 2006 (the drawing posted above) as i respect Orozcos skill with the graphite. In some parts of the piece it seems to jump out of you as its very realistic with the tones and shading.
Though Orozco has a broad range of skills in his practises, I appreciate the talent in this piece.
He also has a series of small paintings called " Paris ", a collection of small pieces of paper with paint. He then folds the paper and reveals the results.
Though a simple idea (-and on reflection quite child-like, do you remember doing these in school?), the results were startling. Becky commented that they remind her of inkblots which i agree with, it was interesting to see what forms we could see in these pictures-especially as sometimes they were very different.
Another reason why i enjoyed his work is because some of his work is very tongue-in-cheek and I enjoyed his humour which is evident, such as the toliet rolls on a fan affixed to the ceiling. Julia and i had a good giggle at his photograph: Cats and Watermelons, 1992.
