Gean Moreno was in Born 1972. Lives and works in Miami. In 1997, the artist obtained a B.A. in Florida International University. Gean Moreno presents a visually complex and stimulating collage in which psychedelic imagery, illustrations with an urban bent and stamped textiles were harmoniously combined with Celtic design, Op-Art, album covers, graffiti, images of skulls and deserts, and stickers for surfboards and skateboards. Resorting to his sharp sense of composition and color, Moreno creates topographies of the mind and the imperceptible, urban utopias, and X-rays of a subculture, of a globalized and mediatized world, of that little traveled space in which the futuristic and the primitive coexist. His is a formal concern, and his inspiration and work tools are found in the domestic milieu, among heaps of colored paper, beer labels and magazine clips. The artist takes advantage of the detritus of mass culture; he recycles and appropriates them to configure an accessible plastic language, devoid of any false pretensions. In a hanging sculpture and a quilt-like installation, Moreno takes his collages to the three-dimensional domain.
