Karlos Carcamo (Artist) in Beacon,NY (New York) from Re-title.com

My artistic practice involves a multi-discipline approach to art making that incorporates the use of high and low cultural references. The source of these references are "sampled" from a broad spectrum of past art historical styles and movements. I use this conceptual approach as a working method to create work that uses a specific formal language while acting as a vehicle to comment on various complex notions of cultural hierarchy, negation, social, political, and historical visibility..

You see, you misunderstood
A sample is a tactic
A portion of my method, a tool
In fact it's only of importance when I make it a priority
And what we sample of, is the majority
