Never has gesture art produced such intricate, symmetrical balance, using the full body contact method no less. Amazing in its process performance. Love the lack of music as the rhythmic sounds of Orrico's graphite sweeps across the paper. Now if he'll only come to Denver.......

AAD is on a roll at the moment. One intresting artist after another. Tony Orrico has a very intresting new concept with great results. The performance video's are great to watch and what beatifull results. Would love to have one of his pieces, but..."I think we need a bigger wall".
Thanks mr.Orrico, I'm ashamed that I have not heard of you before and so missed your performances in Amsterdam in 2011.
