Gigi Show
The Solo Show of Gigi Bio
Just added
Special Performance by Nunchucks
The word "Biomorphic" is a term commonly referred as organic, abstract shapes derived from biology or living organisms. The word, "bio", means life; and "morphic", meaning transformation. In an art sense, it is a focus on the power of natural life and use of organic shapes & line work. As a person and artist, it was only natural for me to be inspired by life, with great emphasis on transition. Living in New York, I see life in an urban state of mind capturing the world in 360 degree hyper views. Everyday, I am surrounded by culture, bustling streets, speeding traffic to buildings being torn & built back up in an instant. Saturday, January 29th, from 7pm – 11pm Gigi Bio was born on July 9, 1978 in Oakland, California. Ever since childhood, she was an creative being with aspirations for art, photography & design. In 2000, she graduated with an AA in Fine Art & Fashion Design from Florida Community College at Jacksonville. In 2003, Gigi graduated with a BFA in Fashion Design at Savannah College of Art & Design. She is a creative designer who specializes in fashion illustration, women's wear, accessory and embroidery design. In addition to her fashion career, she is an artist specializing in digital photo collages mainly inspired by the city streets, architecture, graffiti and life. Currently, she is a freelance fashion designer, art & fashion director and visual artist.
My view of the world is a product of the past colliding with the present. I aim to expose the emotional side of the city streets pushing the final image to abstraction & constructing a new view of the world. Each piece represents a world full of ambition, energy and movement. I aim to recreate the world through multiple perspectives captured in various time frames. My artwork is greatly inspired by the world, but hidden between the layers is a narrative of life. My art is a prism of life, beauty and transformation.
I expose the beautiful complexities of being human.
Life is Art.
