Brian Giles is a Dublin-based Artist, Printmaker and Graphic Designer. Through the process of printmaking, he explores the relationship between place, memory and identity. Using screen printing, risograph, collage and photography, he layers textures and shapes to create prints that balance precision with spontaneity. He is drawn to the unexpected marks of the process, moiré patterns, ink bleeds and creases, which become part of the language of the work.

​

Over the past seven years, Giles has worked in studios across Europe, completing residencies in London, Amsterdam, and Athens, with upcoming projects in Barcelona and Portugal. He is a member of Black Church Print Studios (Dublin), AGA Lab (Amsterdam), and Print Club London. Fingal County Council and the Arts Council of Ireland have also supported his practice.

​

His work has been exhibited at Hang Tough (Dublin), Woolwich Print Fair, London Print Fair, Jealous Gallery (London) and Outset Gallery (Galway), and is included in the OPW collection. Alongside his studio practice, Giles leads workshops for organisations such as Pinterest and is developing pilot programmes for open-access printmaking in Ireland.

​

For Giles, each project, whether an edition, a commission or an experimental residency, is an exploration of how images can hold memory, emotion and the essence of place.
