Camilo Pardo

This print will only be available unframed.

The art that Camilo Pardo has created over the years is all over Detroit. A considerable amount of it is present on our freeways at any given moment of the day. Most recognized for his design work on the Ford GT, Camilo put verve in the steel curves and reminded us that a car's first internal combustion takes place in an artist's mind. The car's external beauty is born there as well. That mind has not ceased from creative labors, even if they're no longer entirely devoted to Motor City mojo.

We are extremely excited to welcome back Camilo Pardo to 1xRUN as this TUESDAY AUGUST 26TH at 10pm EST Camilo is one of the finalist of the TruTV show Motor City Masters. We could not be more proud of Camilo and we encourage everybody to tune in and see if Camilo can take home the crown and be the first Motor City Master! To celebrate Camilo making it the final episode we unleashing some brand new editions from Camilo and some of our old favorites...

Camilo's paintings and drawings speak to both his love for linear perfection and his fascination for the manner in which those lines deliver aesthetic satisfaction to the viewer. His works genuinely seem to move and they are energized by what is obviously a rich understanding and respect for popular culture and traditional disciplines. In less talented hands, such a seeming contradiction of forces would negate the best efforts. Camilo makes them reconcile, complement each other and dance together.
