Romeo Roxman Gatt is a Malta and London-based multimedia artist engaging with questions concerning sexuality, identity, and gender through contemporary material culture. Working across choreographed performance, text, painting, video, sound, photography, and sculpture, Gatt’s practice centers on humanizing and fetishizing consumer objects, transforming the inanimate into the iconic. With themes exploring car culture and critical observations of macho behavior—particularly in relation to Maltese masculinity—his work challenges conventional power dynamics while documenting and archiving trans and queer experiences.

Earning an MA in Visual Communication from the Royal College of Art, Gatt co-founded Malta’s first queer-focused gallery and project space, Rosa Kwir. He was formerly an associate artist at Open School East, a non-accredited alternative art school emphasizing inclusion and co-production.
