Alejandro Acevedo (Mexico City, 1991). Visual Artist. He holds a MFA and a BFA from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
His practice focuses on painting, in relation to the treatment of the plane, the surface, and the support. He uses geometric language as a way to explore the paradoxical condition of objective vision, through a constructive exercise that combines structure and gesture, toward the overflowing of rational schemes and the configuration of the ambiguous and the contingent. His work is characterized by a preference for simplicity, precision, and diversity, moving between traditional formats and experimental devices.
His work has been selected in national competitions like the Tenth Ibero-American Exhibition of Miniature and Small Format Art (2024), the Joaquín Clausell Painting Biennial (2023), the Alfredo Zalce National Biennial of Painting and Printmaking (2022), the Ibero Puebla de los Angeles Biennial (2019), the National Experimental Video Contest (2017), and the Artemergente Monterrey National Biennial (2017); as well as in the international festivals Bad Videoart Festival (2020), Festival Sur Aural (2019) and The Wrong Biennale (2017).
Among his distinctions are the Young Creators Grant from the Ministry of Culture in the Painting category (2024 - 2025) and the Acquisition Award of the National Biennial Artemergente Monterrey (2017).
