Francesco Gioia [b.1991] is an artist working with photography and collage based in London, United Kingdom.
His work draws from diverse influences, spanning avant-garde experiments, surrealistic expression, film, collage, and Bauhaus studies. This fusion of styles and techniques shapes a visual language that is both introspective and personal. His collages are meticulously crafted using rare magazines from the 1920s-50s, sourced worldwide, giving each piece a unique historical and material resonance. A recipient of numerous international awards, his work has been published in The Guardian, The Washington Post, and other major publications.
His photograph Woman in Red was used as the cover image for the 2025 reissue of Les Grandes Blondes by Jean Echenoz, published by Les Éditions de Minuit. He is a contributing photographer for Zeit Magazine.
He has exhibited across the UK, USA, Africa, and Europe and has published a monograph, 57, with Parallel Editions.
He is represented by Institute Artist.
