Leopoldo Gout is an artist, writer, and filmmaker who works across mediums to articulate the ephemeral. In his work, the abstract and figurative clash with moments of chaos, memory, and humanity. Born in Mexico City, Gout grew up in a home often filled with poets, musicians, scientists, and more. Their stories and ideas sparked a fire in Leopoldo, who quickly joined the world of artists and philosophers. Leopoldo studied in London at Central Saint Martins School of Art through a full scholarship by the Mexican Center for the Arts and the British Council. He also won the Erasmus scholarship despite not being officially European.
