He studied at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico, UNAM (1981-1984) and at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid (1986-1987). From 1987 to 1992, he led the Taller de los viernes (Friday Workshop), at his home in Tlalpan, which became a nexus of discussion and artistic production in which Abraham Cruzvillegas, Gabriel Kuri, Dr. Lakra, and Damián Ortega all participated. Orozco gained his reputation in the early 1990s with his exploration of drawing, photography, sculpture and installation. An avid traveler, Gabriel Orozco uses the urban landscape and the everyday objects found within it to twist conventional notions of reality and engage the imagination of the viewer.

" Emotional Front " Statement: For this project I wanted to further develop my idea from project 2. This time with more objects and more emotions to capture a sort of store front feeling. I feel as though the bottles are well suited for each bottled emotion. For Sadness it's vessel is large and tall. For Joy it's vessel is small, soft and round. Loud emotions like sadness and depressed are almost peaceful when bottled up. I included the following emotions: Joy, Sadness, Love, Lust, Envy, Depressed, and Anger. I wanted to do emotions whose colors most dramatically contrast each other.
