Queer artist John Gascot, hailing from the Caribbean, traces his childhood roots to Puerto Rico, an origin that fuels his passion for vibrant hues. While he delves into diverse artistic styles such as Painterly and Geometric Abstractions, his hallmark remains the Latin Pop genre. Coined affectionately after years of honing his craft, “Latin Pop” merges Pop art, Cubism, and Folk art, resulting in a distinct visual dialect. These artworks serve as modern narratives, blending global influences to challenge cultural barriers.
In John’s Latin Pop creations, cultural boundaries blur as diverse influences intertwine in contemporary tales. The figures depicted often possess grand, voluptuous forms, symbolizing not just size but strength and presence. His aim is to craft art that is both inclusive and thought-provoking, questioning social and gender norms dictated by various societies.
