Gabriel Acevedo Velarde
(Lima, 1976) Gabriel Acevedo Velarde’s installations, videos and drawings are affected by the coincidence of subjective and historical forces that seem irrevocably alien, but that end up being summoned in images and stories of remarkable psychological inventiveness. His peculiarity lies in creating a territory of sensitive and intellectual excitement that is difficult to categorize as it brings connections that escape any academic orthodoxy.
