BIOMORPHIC
Jan 29th, from 7pm – 11pm
The Solo Show of Gigi Bio
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.
