Queer artist John Gascot, originally from Puerto Rico, infuses his vibrant works with Caribbean roots. While exploring various styles like Painterly and Geometric Abstractions, his signature Latin Pop genre stands out. Latin Pop blends Pop art, Cubism, and Folk art into a unique visual language, creating modern narratives that challenge cultural boundaries. Gascot’s figures often feature bold, voluptuous forms symbolizing strength and presence, aiming to provoke thought on social and gender norms. In addition to his art, John co-owns Studios @ 5663 and serves as Studio Coordinator. He leads Diversity Arts 501c3, an organization empowering underrepresented youth with free resources, mentorship, and creative spaces. He is also a founding member of the Pinellas Arts Village, supporting local artists and community engagement.
