Luis Romero is a visual artist born in Mexico, raised in Puerto Rico, and currently living and working in Chicago. He completed his MFA in Painting and Drawing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and his BA in Philosophy, Literature, and Film at Boston University. His work is in public and private collections in the US and Europe such as the Art Institute of Chicago, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, US Department of State, and the Fidelity Corporate Collection, among many others. Luis constructs assemblages primarily of paper, cardboard, and canvas. He uses pattern and layering of materials to create a visual space rich in ambiguity, and to allow the pieces to grow organically. You can think of his works as organisms that contain an uncertain space and that are visible to the world through their visual pulsation. As if the teleporter in the original Star Trek series left travelers caught halfway in the process of dematerialization and rematerialization.
