El Sur/ the South by Pável Acevedo
Reception:
March 9th 6pm-9pm
Artist Talk @ 8pm
El Sur/ the South
The body of work for “El sur”/ “the South” brings together a series of relief prints and drawings in which I’ve been exploring the creation of images that come through my craft as a print maker and how I communicate as a person.
El Sur is where I can recall my home before coming to the US and is still a reference for where I reside in California. From the South, I started to appropriate the exercise of “commute” as a creative process of my artwork and is a preliminary sketch for me to create a metaphor that will host concepts like identity, origin, movement, cycles or borderlines that come to me.
El sur / the South is origin and destiny

"El sur" reúne una serie de dibujos y grabados en relieve en los que he estado explorando la creación de imágenes que surgen a través de mi oficio como grabador y cómo me comunico como persona.
El Sur es donde puedo recordar mi casa antes de venir a los Estados Unidos y todavía es una referencia de dónde resido en California. Desde el sur, comencé a apropiarme del ejercicio de "conmutar" como un proceso creativo de mi obra de arte y es un boceto preliminar para crear una metáfora que albergará conceptos como identidad, origen, movimiento, ciclos o límites que vienen a mí.
