Luis Gispert/loud Image by Roberto J Tejada

Luis Gispert is a young contemporary artist born in Jersey City, New Jersey, and raised primarily in Miami. He trained first at Miami-Dade Community College and then at the Art Institute of Chicago and Yale University. Today Gispert lives and works in Brooklyn. His earliest creative recognition was tied to his participation in a group of young South Florida-based artists who challenged the reigning paradigms of Latino - a representation in that region. Gispert's vividly colored photographs and booming sound sculptures have since been shown widely throughout the United States as well as in Europe, South America, and the Middle East. The multimedia installation he created for the 2002 Whitney Biennial was one of the most critically acclaimed elements of that exhibition, and his work has become a virtual mainstay in recent surveys of contemporary art practices. Gispert's work cannily explores and confronts familiar aspects of youth culture, art history, hip-hop music, and, most recently, the artist's own Cuban American background. His large-scale photographs feature ethnically diverse groups of cheerleaders enacting poses that are variously derived from canonical art history, global religions, or popular culture. Luis Gispert: Loud Image represents a profound critique of dominant cultures and subcultures in contemporary American life.
