Not bound by the conventions of a studio, Gabriel Orozco creates art in the street, in abandoned buildings, and in the many places that he has lived and traveled. His work is characterized by his creative and inventive experimentation with everyday objects, exemplified by his iconic Black Kites, a human skull covered in an intricate graphic checkerboard, representing the two sides of life that are constantly at odds.
In 2011, Casa Dragones first collaborated with Orozco on an Artist Edition in honor of his midlife retrospective, hand-engraving his Black Kites motif and his signature on the crystal decanter of Casa Dragones Joven.
