Art and Identity
Gigi Francis is a London-based visual artist who delves into the complexities of identity and duality, capturing the intersection of belonging as an immigrant, the journey of womanhood after motherhood, and the expression of neurodivergence and mental health. Her work reflects the creative tension and harmony within these layered aspects of her life.
Artistic Exploration
Gigi Francis is known for her evocative exploration of her inner world. Gigi's work often features recurring figures, used to depict duality, closeness and separation. It reflects her experience of neurodivergence, parenthood and marriage, and the ongoing effort of balancing different roles and expectations. Dark, muted tones are often used to express the weight of everyday life and periods of low mood, while bright colours point to moments of joy, connection and memory. Working across abstract and representational approaches, she uses painting as a way to process emotions and make sense of overlapping identities.
