Globe-trotting sculptor Gabriel Orozco plays with form and symmetry in a show of new and ongoing projects at Paris' Galerie Chantal Crousel. Orozco brings an origami-like complexity to the grade-school practice of dripping paint onto paper and folding it; he fills two rooms with these Rorschach-style paintings, which reveal suggestive, corporeal forms. Five small paintings of multi-sized circles halved and quartered in solid blue, red, white, and gold-leaf — from his ongoing Samurai Tree series — resemble a Calder mobile frozen in a strobe light, while an accompanying animation changes colors like clockwork, reinforcing a contradictory impression of static movement. Two black, semiabstract sculptures and an imprint of Orozco's face in a back corner contribute an intimate touch.
