GIGI BIO's Page

Gigi Bio is a renaissance woman living in Brooklyn, New York. By trade, she is a fashion designer who specializes in women's wear, embroidery and accessory design. She is also an artist who works in classic and modern mediums through painting, illustration, collage and photography.

Architecture, movement and the city streets are major influences. She is inspired by the changing landscapes of New York because it is a city in constant flow. Her current series "Urban Reconstructionist" is about recreating the world through her eyes. Each composition is a scene made of many flow-like layers, combined and reconstructed to form organic structures. She encourages the viewer how to fully experience their environment, to find beauty in the mundane and order through the chaos.

In 2008, her street photography was featured in exhibits and publications for "Street or Studio - The History of Urban Photography" at Tate Modern and "Click - The Changing Faces of Brooklyn" at Brooklyn Museum. Her work is part of permanent collections of the Savannah College of Art & Design and Florida Community College at Jacksonville.
