François Giro is a self-taught artist based in Edinburgh, who works primarily with ink on paper. His work explores the psychological dimension of space. He either draws directly on location or improvises drawings that are more ambitious in his studio, without a preliminary plan, in order to intuitively respond to the impressions and observations that he remembers of real places (usually familiar neighbourhoods in Edinburgh or places observed while travelling). He is interested in showing how our mind, but also our most mundane gestures, shape the environment that we inhabit.
