Norma Marquez Orozco
Norma Marquez Orozco, '11 Triangles (Light Brown)', 2015, Paper

2015

About the Item

The
 natural 
world
 is 
her 
inspiration, 
giving
 special 
attention
 to 
reflect 
movement
 as 
a 
way
 of
 exploring
 not
 only
 physical
 but
 emotional
 change.
 Orozco's consistent
 interest
 is
 in
 perception,
 temporariness
 and
 light.
 I
 view
 my
 work
 as
 drawings
 with
 a
 quality
 of
 painting
 and
 sculpture.
 In
 her
 work
 she uses
 cutout
 paper,
 or
 light
 material
 shapes
 inside
 boxes 
or 
envelopes
 of 
translucent 
paper
assembling 
randomly
 and
 without 
attachment. 
It
 allows
 one
 to 
observe 
the
 relationship
 between
 the
 artwork 
and 
the
 environment,
 such
 that 
light,
shadow, 
time,
 weather, 
season, 
and
 forms 
merge
 and
 interact.
 As 
a 
result 
of
 this
 dynamic
 relationship,
 the
 work
 extends 
beyond
 a 
personal 
process 
by
 continuing
 to 
make 
subtle
 shifts, 
sustaining 
a 
life
 and
 composition 
entirely 
on 
its 
own. Norma
 Márquez
 Orozco 
has
 exhibited
 in
 solo
 and
 group
 shows
 in 
Mexico,
Italy,
 Spain
 and
 The
 United
 States.
 Additionally
 she
 has
 curated
 shows
 throughout
 New
 York
 and
 hosted
 lectures
 and
 artist
 talks
 for
 the
 public.
 In
 2001
 Norma
 founded
 Floor4Art
 an
 alternative
 space
 in
 West
 Harlem
 that
 houses
 artist’s
 studios
 and
 exhibition
 space
 aimed
 at
 producing,
 promoting
 and
 connecting
 artists.
 Norma
was
 born
 in
 Chicago,
 Illinois,
 and
 raised
 in
 Guadalajara,
 Jalisco,
 Mexico.

Norma Márquez Orozco, Purple Shapes, 2018, Translucent Paper, Minimalist, 31x31
By Norma Marquez Orozco
Located in Darien, CT
Norma Marquez Orozco explores concepts of impermanence, perception, form and balance through physical movement of the work itself in a lucid, game-like context, like puzzles. All the elements are made of paper, molded into three-dimensional forms. The repetitive geometric shapes are assembled inside boxes built out of translucent paper. The arrangement is random and unfixed to allow movement and unpredictable composition. The harmonies and tensions in the work arise from different exchanges between the colors, the patterns, and the geometric and organic shapes, as well as the sense that change is constantly occurring as the elements shift and move. When one looks at these compositions, you see them for the first time, every time, because what is creating and completing the artwork is always changing; such as light, weather and forms merge and interact. As a result of these dynamic relationships, the work extends beyond her personal hand, sustaining an appearance and composition entirely of its own. Norma Márquez Orozco was
 born
 in
 Chicago,
Illinois,
 and
 raised
 in
 Guadalajara,
 Jalisco,
 Mexico. Her work can be seen as an investigation into the way relationships emerge and evolve when elements like color, form, shape, lines, angle and pattern are blended, shifted and layered. She currently lives and works in New York City. Marquez Orozco

 curated
 exhibitions throughout
 New
