Jack Gomez
This week, we’re diving into the innovative world of Jack Gomez, who is making waves in the art and fashion scenes under his brand, Splaticus. Recently showcased at the F5 art show in Tribeca, Splaticus’ work merges fashion, art, and environmental consciousness to create immersive, thought-provoking experiences.
Jack Gomez’s journey into the art world began as a response to his distaste for the traditional fashion show setup. To him, fashion shows often feel pretentious and disconnected from the audience, with garments merely walking by like cars on a street. Instead, he envisioned a space where people could interact with clothing on their own terms—much like an art gallery. This shift in perspective allowed him to explore a more creative, organic, and interactive approach to displaying his pieces.
At F5, Jack tackled the challenge of presenting three-dimensional garments alongside two-dimensional artwork. Drawing inspiration from the unpredictable power of storms, especially lightning, he designed sculptural forms that captured the chaotic energy and movement of a tornado. His use of reflective materials and three-dimensional garment displays captivated the audience, inviting them to experience the pieces in a new, dynamic way.
Beyond the aesthetic, Jack's philosophy extends to the deeper meaning behind the clothes he creates. His work stands as a statement against fast fashion and consumerism. In a world where garments have increasingly short lifespans and are often discarded without thought, Splaticus offers pieces that are designed to last—garments that tell a story, hold meaning, and resist the throwaway culture. His goal is to craft clothes that people want to keep, wear with care, and cherish, rather than simply replace.
Splaticus’ debut at the F5 show marks the beginning of what will surely be an exciting artistic journey. By blending his environmental message with the world of fashion and art, Jack Gomez is crafting more than just garments—he’s creating an experience that challenges how we think about consumption, art, and interaction with clothing.
