Gabriel Acevedo Velarde
Gabriel Acevedo Velarde (b. 1976, Lima, Peru) lives and works in Lima. He studied at the Facultad de Artes, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (1995–1997), and holds a BA in Fine Arts from the Universidad de las Américas Puebla, Mexico, and an MA in Fine Arts and Design from DAI Art Praxis, ArtEZ University, Netherlands.
His work opens areas where psychological creativity and political critique join to create stimulating but decisively non-orthodox standpoints. Like an energy that transpasses individual bodies, his projects often invoke the urgency of lost avant-gardes through libidinal persuasion.
