MIAMI, FLORIDA

Guillermo Acevedo records the human condition although he is a virtuoso draftsman, capable of every possible performance. Acevedo refers to his personal style as realism. Acevedo's imagery, his philosophy, is not simplistic. Perhaps his Inca forebears or his cultural heritage gives the Peruvian-born artist another dimension in seeing. The source of his inspiration lies in "the collective unconscious." Formalism, in the strict sense of the term does not exist in his work. His imagery on close study becomes an illusion, an evanescent dream. Acevedo is a master of caricature. His interest in the humanities has expanded to embrace the North american Indian, especially the Diné. Acevedo records the image behind the image, the philosophy, which negates an underlying pathos. Even Acevedo's paintings of ancient structures have an indestructible core of beauty. By isolating the image in large spatial areas each face becomes a map, an index, of an archetype of the original. Acevedo believes that life is a catalyst which determines the context of an artists's concern. His imagery depicts the transitoriness of life, much of what he does Acevedo does for the sake of context. I was born into a family of artists and I am a performing artist myself. I have made promoting my family part of my life's missions. Thanks to my practice of chanting the mantra Nam Myoho Renge Kyo I am accomplishing my mission of promoting education, culture and the arts.
