Luis Gispert "is a multi-disciplinary artist addressing a variety of topics in his work, such as the infiltration of subcultures on mainstream society. Concepts surrounding American culture and the fetishization of value have inspired the artist over the years, and those interests continue to serve as the basis from which all his ideas evolve. Gispert’s work acts as a composite, melding what is familiar with the unexpected. His aesthetic leans toward theatric, as his seductive imagery delivers a blend of opulent artifice with clever indications of acute subtexts." (Quoted from artist's official bio; see Morán Morán Gallery for more.)
