Lima, Peru, 1976. Lives and works in Mexico City and Sao Paulo.

Gabriel Acevedo Velarde organizes his work in projects, which are developed through several mediums such as drawings, animation, performance or video. The common denominator is the will to point towards the ordered and chaos that becomes the outcome of destroying this system, as well as narrating fictitious situations.

Acevedo V shows a particular view of the world and human condition through biting critiques to the contemporary world, the basic premise in his work is recognizing his own complicity with that world. The content of his work shows the excess of egocentrism, the enthusiastic faith on scientific knowledge, compulsively repeated traumatic situations, and a sexual energy that at the same time corrupts and harmonizes with cartoonish sensitivity.
