Approccio artistico

COMMESSA SPECIALE DELLA REGIONE CENTRO AFFIDATA A GABRIEL OROZCO​​ (2014-2016)
 
Artista continuamente in viaggio, senza atelier fisso, che vive tra Messico, Stati Uniti e Francia, Gabriel Orozco rifiuta le identificazioni nazionali o regionali ed attinge la sua ispirazione dai vari luoghi in cui vive e viaggia. Usa numerosi mezzi e supporti per progettare e  realizzare le sue opere. Passando dalla fotografia alla scultura, dall’installazione alla creazione numerica, avvalendosi di oggetti e tecniche molto variegati, viaggiatore instancabile, senza atelier fisso, si autodefinisce un viaggiatore che riesce ad esprimere, con un’immensa acutezza, lo spirito dei tempi e dei luoghi nei quali interviene.
Impregnandosi dai segni, dalle tracce e dalle impronte, qualunque siano i siti sui quali pone il proprio sguardo, desideroso di cogliere i riflessi della realtà, Gabriel Orozco nutre “un particolare interesse per la combinazione dei vari sensi e delle informazioni contraddittorie”. Osserva in particolare i  “meccanismi del movimento e delle vibrazioni”.
Fervente lettore ed ammiratore di Borgès, ritiene che “l’arte sia il risultato di una semplicità complessa”. Non smette mai di mettere sottosopra i dati per creare un insieme di sensazioni nuove, per vedere e fare vedere diversamente la realtà. 
Rivendicando fortemente la propria libertà d’invenzione, rivolge “un’attenzione assoluta al presente”, immergendosi nell’euforia di quello che succede. Ē sempre nel “fare” e nel “poiein” della poesia.
 
Affascinato dalle antiche carte da parati che ornavano i muri degli appartamenti degli ospiti del Principe e della Principessa di Broglie – ultimi proprietari del castello – abbandonati dal 1938 ed aperti per gli artisti contemporanei dal 2011, il famoso artista messicano Gabriel Orozco, nell’ambito di una commessa speciale della Regione Centro, si è impregnato a lungo del palinsesto degli arazzi rimasti su questi antichi muri. Tutte le sue opere sono caratterizzate dalla ricerca delle tracce e delle impronte degli uomini e del tempo.
I  Fleurs fantômes (Fiori fantasmi) che presenta a Chaumont-sur-Loire riaccendono la memoria in sospeso, gli attimi invisibili di vite spente, la densità dei ricordi di momenti scomparsi, che il visitatore sentiva vivamente e confusamente, senza distinguere l’origine della sua emozione e che rivelano le tele Gabriel Orozco.
Le 30 opere che costellano le “camere degli ospiti” del castello riprendono dettagli e ferite di queste antiche carte da parati, ricostituite dall’artista grazie a un procedimento unico e lento di proiezione a getto d’olio su tela. Il tremolio della stampa va di pari passo con il turbamento che coglie il visitatore in questi luoghi, di fronte al dialogo intavolato tra queste opere ed i muri imperfetti che si offrono al suo sguardo. L’artista svela quindi queste impronte e questi colori che finora non potevano essere visti e rivela l’emozione in sospeso in queste camere.
L’artista ci invita, grazie a questa poetica passeggiata che segue i cammini di ronda, su due piani (ala ovest e sud) del castello, ad immergerci in un sottile dialogo con il mistero dei luoghi e con questa memoria prolissa.
 
L’opera, presentata nel castello, sarà realizzata in due tempi. La prima parte sarà inaugurata nel 2014 e la seconda nel 2015.
