Giorgio Micco (b. 1989) lives and works in Alba, Italy. His practice engages with some of the most relevant and urgent critical issues surrounding the pictorial medium, particularly in relation to ecological and technological concerns in contemporary discourse. In addition to painting, he works with drawing, monotypes, digital printing, publications, and lightboxes — media that interact with and help redefine the gallery space.
