My artwork takes a critical view of social, political and cultural issues as they relate to the black experience. In my work, I deconstruct the American dream. Having engaged subjects as diverse as the civil rights movement, hip hop, jazz, sports and urban landscapes, my work reproduces familiar visual signs, arranging them into new conceptually layered pieces. Often times these themes are approached in a whimsical manner, and are often embellished with the implication of texture.

Gerardo Camargo was born in 1974 in Mexico City. When he was twelve years old, he began working as a cartoonist for a local political newspaper. He apprenticed with several established artists in their studios and took some classes at the University of Morelos, but he is essentially self-taught. Camargo's first solo exhibit was in 2002. Shortly afterwards, he was selected by the Mexican National Council for Culture and the Arts as a Promising Emerging Artist from the state of Morelos. In 2004, he co-founded Zarco Gallery, an independent space for contemporary art in Cuernavaca.

The Origins of SinkArtist TM: Art is everywhere. I have spent a few years painting on canvas, with either oil paints or acrylic. I noticed that I could blend with acrylic the best and that when water is added, the outcome can be stunning. With canvas, however, it's really difficult to prevent absorption of the paint. It dries so quicky! I began to explore working on other types of media. SinkArtist was born somewhat accidentally. But the idea is simple - we spend so much of our time face down.
