"Arceo has been active on the Chicago art scene for the past 3 decades. A graduate from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he is co-founder of Chicago's Galeria Ink Works & Mexican Printmaking Workshop, and also worked for the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum. “In most cases my works evolve as a product of a spontaneous act. The act of drawing lines, on a surface, which evolve into shapes and forms defined in the spontaneous process of creating them. That is most often while creating art I do not depart from a specific idea or concept I want to address. Rather, it evolves out of the markings made spontaneously.” – René Hugo Arceo"
