ohn Gascot, of Italian and Puerto Rican heritage honors his Feminine Roots. His mother (the Italian side) encouraged John's love and admiration of women and instilled in him a great pride of his Latino ancestry. The female form dominates a vast majority of his canvases. The figures he paints are large and curvaceous, but their mass speaks more about strength and presence than physical size. At times, these female subjects represent John's mother and the women who raised him, whose larger-than-life personas taught the importance of self-expression. "Often, they illustrate my own connection to femininity, defying gender roles and machismo traditionally dictated by my Latino heritage. I strive to make art that is accessible and promotes diversity."
More about John: John Gascot was born in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, where he spent the first twelve years of his life. His Italian American mother moved there from Rockaway beach NY after falling in love with the island, its people and its culture. She went there not knowing a word of Spanish and made a life for herself . There she met John’s father. Unfortunately he was not present in his upbringing but his mother took on the roles of mother and father as best she could. He grew up surrounded and supported by a group of strong and larger than life women, who are the main source of inspiration for his paintings. Island life and the Latino experience also are of great inspiration.
John”s formal education is in playwriting and acting, and in his youth he worked as a makeup artist. He first started creating as a child through drawings, but came to consider himself a visual artist approximately 15 years ago during a time that he started painting while co-owner of A.P.A Gallery in Milford, PA. John would paint to pass the time while gallery sitting, and eventually visitors noticed the works on his easel. They began to make their way onto the gallery walls and subsequently into people’s homes.
In between his Latin Pop paintings, John likes to experiment with abstracts, a great way to shake things up and get new ideas going in his head. Music, popular culture and current events are always a good jumping off point for new works too.
John’s favorite artists are Picasso, Fernand Leger, Stuart Davis, Botero, Keith Haring, Max Beckmann, …SO many! But also artists that often go without much recognition, such as Aboriginal, Haitian, African and Mexican Folk Art.
