Born in New York City to Argentinean parents, Gustavo Albero—who paints by the name “Gusto”—attended the art program at Manhattanville College in New York. Though his style has evolved over the past ten years, the bulk of his work is semi-abstract acrylic on canvas: bold black lines, pops of bright color, and pieces ranging from expressionist-like images (“Dame Au Bain,” a whispering image of a woman bathing in a tub), to bold recognizable ones (pop representations of Marilyn Monroe and Woody Woodpecker). He has been displaying his work primarily in Downtown Los Angeles galleries including the M.J. Higgins Gallery and Jungle Rush Gallery, as well as in group shows in Beverly Hills, Silver Lake and Hollywood. His work has been used in styling sets on television programs including ABC’s The Bachelorette, The Bachelor, and Bravo’s Top Design among others. Gustavo is also a filmmaker. He produced the 2004 documentary film Access Nation, which examined the lives of real people in America with cable access television shows, including New York’s Robin Byrd and Al Goldstein. Gustavo has also done work as a curator featuring the work of artists Shepard Fairey, Overton Lloyd, Bua, and Ted Meyer. Gusto’s artwork can always be seen at his loft studio and gallery in Downtown L.A., or on his web site, www.gallerygusto.com. |
