Archival Digital Print, Sizes: 8”x10” and 13”x19” Epson Pigment inks on cotton rag substrate or Light Jet digital photo prints. (plus custom sizes or NFT by special order) Date created: 1992
Victor: Axis was named by my artist friend, Cheryl Gran.
The image called Axis was one of Acevedo's early Macintosh works. It was originally created for an exhibition at the FAR Bazaar BQ at the Sue Spaid Gallery held during the Summer of 1993 in Los Angeles. It opened on the same day as Acevedo's first museum show, which was a group survey of digital prints held at the Lancaster Museum of Art. The content for this four-plex image is as follows, clockwise starting from the top left square:
1) Concentric geodesic spheres, with "fractal shadow" a quote from Acevedo's IBM PC based work called Inside Out. However, in this case the image is flipped 180° horizontally.?
2) A section from one of Acevedo’s oil paintings textured mapped onto a sphere using the software called Strata 3D. ?
3) A variant of Inside Out, simultaneously revealing and obscuring the figures within. They are Victor’s friends named Mary Vitelli, and David Koski.?
4) David Acevedo on a boat in Hong Kong in 1980 with the Mandelbrot set overlay
