THE TILED QUILT MONSTER


The Tiled Quilt Monster is Orozco Madero's first experiment with tiling. It springs from the search to explode on the surface. It is a direct consequence of his beginnings as an engraver. To take avantage of the repeat-ability of the medium in order to fill the space. Intentionally rough, technically and materially, intentionally red and muscular, like births. Unprimed canvas and imprecise matchings amongst the tiles strongly evoke a chaotic strong atmosphere. The texture in the canvas begs to be touched. It is also the simplest of the patterns, the beginning of an idea, the humble square, the humble canvas, the humble linoleum. This is Orozco Madero's earthiest pattern.
