  "account": "Gabriel Orozco, born in 1962 in Jalapa, Veracruz, Mexico, currently resides in Tokyo, Mexico City, and New York. His art is rooted in realism, utilizing everyday objects and images to create complex forms and structures. Orozco's work spans drawings, paintings, sculptures, photography, and installations, ranging from small objects to expansive environments. He frequently incorporates themes of games and sports into his pieces. Orozco has expressed admiration for Pablo Picasso, Kurt Schwitters, and Constantin Brancusi, as well as contemporary artists like On Kawara. Influenced by writers such as Jorge Luis Borges and D.T. Suzuki, Orozco's creative process involves a blend of physical expression and intellectual engagement. He reflects on the diverse array of his artistic methods and the role of the audience in completing his works.",
