RESUME

Francesco Igory Deiana

Born in Milan Italy in 1986 lives and work in Brooklyn NY.

Graduated in 2005 from Hajech Brera Art school Milan Italy,

He moved to the US in 2009. Worked In San Francisco California as assistant for the artist Barry McGee 2010 -2015

In 2015 he Moved to Los Angeles  until 2018 for an Artist residence offered by Prism gallery Los Angeles to focus on the Museum size graphite drawing series called “Photoshop brushstroke”

He after moved to NY in 2018 where he became a member of the Tom Sachs studio team util mid 2019.

Francesco is been since  focusing  exclusively on his own practice until present.

Francesco works in the establish contemporary art world and shows  internationally.

His practice is just as likely to manifest as a drawing, a painting, or a sculpture, often confusing the distinction between these forms.
Pulling from a unique variety of found images, Francesco seems to create an archive in which there is no hierarchy between contemporary events and historical facts.

Deiana actively uses landscape, portraiture, and iconography in an effort to conjure the detached and unsettling feeling of our fractured contemporary world.
