Sound Colour Vibration presents the 32nd volume in our online art gallery Creator Wave. Today we bring an artist I found during one of the monthly Riverside Art Walk events this year. His works were hanging in the Blood Orange Info Shop gallery and I immediately got his contact info after seeing his works. He got back with us and we are proud to present a small collection of works from 2009-2011. Below is his biography and his creations, please pass this around to friends and those you know who love to check out new artists. – Erik Otis

Flesh and Scars

The realization of my is based on emphasizing aesthetic elements as beautiful and grotesque, which are necessary to confront the spectator, generating a speech at a perceptual and visual level.

Art is a medium by changes and clashes that are developing in my life as a Creator and a person converge in a visceral and figurative Art Work.

Working on the American Dream
Story and Photography by Carlos Puma/Inland Empire Central

Working on “The American Dream” at a fever pitch is artist Pavel Acevedo’s current task. Large scale charcoal portraits of immigrants.

Acevedo says, “Who am I? Is a question I try to answer in my work.”

Acevedo’s first piece of “The American Dream” is a self-portrait. But with a quick scan of his studio one can see that his creativity can’t be contained to one project.

There are 4 to 5 pieces at different stages of completion from different projects. Also, he’s working on a commission portrait of small child.

The Mexican born Acevedo hails from Oaxaca the same state as the great artist Rufino Tamayo but his major influence come from across the pond via the figurative painter Francis Bacon who’s known for bold and emotionally raw imagery.
