Francesco Locastro

Locastro's body work Geometry consists of layered paintings of geometric shapes
that create beautiful three dimensional worlds.
The layers of his paintings are meticulously done with spray paint,
epoxy resin, acrylic, and gold leafing on wood to create the floating effect
Locastro has become famous for in Florida where he lives and throughout the art
community. While his pieces are
extremely intriguing on square and rectangular MDF board, he adds interest by
layering his shapes onto other, less common geometric shapes such as a circle
and a triangle.
Italian
born Locastro moved to South Florida when he was in high school from Germany
where he became immersed in the local "graffiti, punk and hardcore music
scenes." He found his spot in the
creative arts and quickly made a name for himself as a painter with a
message. Locastro is the CEO and Founder
of Pop Art Studios, an art and design studio, and is also the co-founder of
VANGUARD Art Fair, which merged with
AQUA in 2009 to introduce emerging trends in contemporary movements of Pop
Surrealism and Street Art.
