Mini Review of "Raices Femeninas"

Here is a mini-review of my current show by Tampa Bay arts blogger Luis Gottardi, editor-in-chief of Art Taco.

Friday 3/28, the John Gascot solo show, Raices Femeninas (Feminine Roots) opened at Feathered Serpent. The artist was raised by women and pays hommage to them lovingly. Educated as a playwright, the paintings have a strong narrative and gestural style that Gascot refers to as Latin Pop. It is uplifting work well worth seeing. They have some small pieces that are charming and priced to sell.

I visited the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts earlier this week. There I saw an amazing exhibition of Jeffrey Stockbridge photographs. Check out my latest Huffington Post Arts entry.
