In July of 2013, Inner State Gallery hosted an entirely new body of work from Detroit artist and famed designer of the Ford GT Camilo Pardo. The solo exhibition invited the public to engage with Camilo’s signature artwork, fashion, automobiles and refreshments, served up as only Camilo Pardo could. Internationally recognized for his groundbreaking design on the Ford GT, Camilo’s work carries an inertia that transcends from his work seen on the city’s freeways as it flows seamlessly into the worlds of fashion and fine art galleries. This is where “Zero Gravity” began.
“The idea for Zero Gravity came from a series of images created at a party we threw called “Space.” With my paintings there is a certain amount of energy and movement. I like to keep that kind of energy in my work, you can see it in the brush strokes, the colors and the composition. A lot of times, the composition of the subject matter is so large that it doesn’t really fit in the canvas. It’s like it’s coming at you and it’s so close that it’s really on top of you. I like that kind of composition, dynamics and drama. With this collection, Zero Gravity is the point where you leave the planet and enter the atmosphere and everything floats.” - Camilo Pardo
