​

This year Luis Gispert’s works are on our radar for further investigations of how hip hop culture has influenced a few of our times best known artists. With a survey show at the Museum of Contemporary Art Miami last year and upcoming solo shows in New York and Los Angeles we are very pleased to present past and new works associated with Gispertʼs investigations into the cultural phenomena of hip hop.

​

New sculptures, the world premiere of the new video “TURBO BURBO” at Mallorca Landings which marks a new direction in his work and wall paintings will be shown together with his large scale photo’s of panoramic views of landscaped and historic landmarks through the cockpit of highly customized cars or freightliners, within a frame of historical references ranging from Italian Renaissance Painting to landscape photography. The picturesque and the sublime are collided with the grotesque.

​

Gispert’s work is inspired by a cultural amalgamation of music, cinema, urban/pop culture, car culture, and the lyrical theatrics of hip hop.
