My name is Brian Giles and I'm an Irish printmaker based in Dublin. My work looks at how places and experiences shape who we are. I use the processes of screen printing, risograph, collage, and photography to layer shapes and textures, embracing both precision and unpredictability in my practice. 

 

Halftone circles, bitmap diffusions, and overlapping transparencies form a visual language of change, while unexpected occurrences, moiré patterns, ink bleeds, and paper creases remind me that transformation is never entirely controllable. 

​

Rooted in residencies and collaborations across Europe, my work has gradually evolved from figurative beginnings toward abstraction. This shift reflects my growing interest in capturing not what is fixed, but what is in the process of becoming, the fluidity of identity, memory, and experience as they navigate different environments.
