Romeo Gómez López (born in 1991, lives and works in Mexico City MX) uses various elements of mass culture, such as religion, political figures and science fiction, to critique the conservative nature of the contemporary art. His work challenges notions of compulsory heterosexuality in art with a vision on sexuality using humor and pornographic imagination to show a resistant alternative. He focuses on libidinal values and their provocative power as generators of sensibility.
